US could ease sanctions on Turkey

US could ease sanctions on Turkey

Mubasher: The United States Secretary of State said on Wednesday that there’s a logic to lifting some of the sanctions against Turkey after the release of American pastor Andrew Brunson.

Mike Pompeo said “We’ll have a decision on that shortly, but some of the sanctions that were put in place were directly connected to Pastor Brunson and there’s a logic to now removing those as well,” as quoted by the Financial Times on Wednesday.

Brunson had been detained in Turkey for two years, which led to a diplomatic drift between Washington and Ankara.

No final decision has been made, according to Pompeo, who explained that he needs to discuss the matter with President Donald Trump.
