Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during an interview with Reuters in Istanbul, Turkey.
“I said no matter what package of … S-400s we get, we can buy from you a certain amount of Patriots,” Erdogan told Reuters on Friday. “In my opinion a country like the USA will not want to hurt its ally Turkey any more.
