As Senator Lankford wrote on his Twitter account, “Reports of Turkey activating the radars of its Russian S-400 anti-aircraft system is alarming, which is why sanctions for their initial purchase need to be implemented. President Erdogan continues to be emboldened by our delays on these sanctions and the supply chain transition”.
