No sanctions against Turkey in White House meeting

U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the issue of possible sanctions against Turkey at the White House with Republican senators over Turkey purchased Russian S-400 defense missiles.

The meeting, which was held at the White House, was attended by 45 Republican and was closed to the press.

Claims say that Trump has clashed with Republican senators over the possible use of sanctions against Turkey.

According to people in the meeting, Trump argued for negotiations with Turkey instead of strong sanctions, leading to a robust discussion and open dispute with Risch, the Washington Post reported.

"Everyone in the room knew there were many options available and there was a spirited and robust debate on all sides of the issue," Risch spokeswoman Suzanne Wrasse said late on Tuesday.

The Trump administration had officially begun the process of removing Turkey from the F-400 program on Wednesday last week because Turkey purchased S-400 missile defense system from Russia.

Turkey purchased S-400 missile defense system from Russia may open the country up to US sanctions under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA).
