Turkey and Russia have slammed the United States for using the language of threats when it comes to arms deals between other countries that Washington does not favor.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov criticized Washington for pressuring potential buyers of Russian-made weapons, including Turkey.
He added that Washington’s resort to ultimatums and threats, which he said are meant to influence global arms trades is wrong, and that countries will ultimately ignore US pressure and do what they want.
The top Russian diplomat also warned that such US demands would create unpredictability, and an additional potential for conflict.
