ANTALYA, Turkey, April 17 (Reuters) - U.S. Ambassador to Turkey Tom Barrack said on Friday he expected Washington and Ankara to soon solve the issue of U.S. sanctions over Turkey’s purchase of Russian S-400 missile defences. 

“I think you are going to see the S-400 situation solved soon. From my boss’s point of view, acceptance into an F-35 programme is fine,” Barrack said at the Antalya Diplomacy Forum. 

In 2020, the U.S. sanctioned fellow NATO member Turkey over the purchase and removed it from a procurement and manufacturing programme for F-35 fighter jets.
