Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to close down two U.S. military bases in Turkey.
The two bases are in Incirlik & Kurecik.
Erdogan said during a TV interview,
“If necessary we’ll close Incirlik and also Kurecik. If the threat of sanctions is implemented against us, we’ll respond to them in the framework of reciprocity.”
This move comes at a time when there is an increasing probability of American president Donald Trump approving sanctions against the country.
The potential U.S. sanctions against Turkey is primarily due to its decision to buy S-400 air defense system from Russia.
Viewers may note that sanctions against Turkey were passed by a U.S. Senate committee and it is currently unclear if President Trump would sign it.
Incirlik is believed to house roughly 50 nuclear bombs.
