U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is confident that the United States and Turkey "will find a path forward" amid an ongoing row about Ankara’s determination to buy Russia's surface-to-air S-400 system.
"We are continuing to have conversations. I think the Turkish government understands the American position quite clearly…. Our position hasn't changed," he told a news conference at the end of a meeting of NATO foreign ministers.
“There’s great opportunities for the United States and Turkey to work closer together,” Reuters cited the Secretary of State as saying.
“I had a good long conversation with the Turkish foreign minister yesterday and I’m very confident we’ll find a path forward," Pompeo added.
