Spokesperson for the US State Department Heather Nauert has said that Russia planning to deliver S-400 to Turkey in 2019 is a concern of the US.
In they daily press briefing, Spokesperson Nauert spoke about the S-400 sale to Turkey:
"You know it goes against our policy to have a NATO ally such as Turkey use an S-400 system. Part of the problem with that, it is – that it is not interoperable with other NATO systems. And so we are against the – having some of our partners and allies around the world potentially purchase S-400s".
Kalın's statement was asked
During the press briefing, Nauert was asked about Presidential Spokesperson İbrahim Kalın's statement about Halkbank trial.
Stating that she hasn't seen the aforementioned remarks, Nauert said she didn't want to comment on that and "that would fall under Department of Justice and also Treasury". (HA//TK)
