US Warns Turkey Against Purchase of Russian Missile System

Vice President Mike Pence warned Turkey against going ahead with its planned purchase of the Russian-made S-400 missile system, hours after the Turkish foreign minister said the acquisition was "a done deal," CNN reports. 

"We've also made it clear that we'll not stand idly by while NATO allies purchase weapons from our adversaries, weapons that threaten the very cohesion of this alliance," Pence said Wednesday while addressing the "NATO Engages" summit in Washington, DC.
"Turkey's purchase of a $2.5 billion S-400 anti-aircraft missile system from Russia poses great danger to NATO and to the strength of this alliance," he added, saying that Turkey could face consequences for its action.
But speaking at the same event just hours earlier, Turkey's Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu called Ankara's acquisition of the Russian system "a done deal."
