U.S. Threatens More Sanctions On Turkey If Pastor Isn't Freed

  • 6 years ago

Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin said the United States is prepared to put further sanctions on Turkey. This is because American pastor Andrew Brunson is still detained in Turkey, Reuters reports. Mnuchin said, “We have more that we are planning to do if they don’t release him quickly.” Mnuchin made the announcement during a meeting of President Donald Trump’s Cabinet. Brunson was arrested in Turkey in October 2016 in the aftermath of a Turkish coup d'état attempt.
