US threatens more sanctions on Turkey if pastor not freed
The US on Thursday threatened to impose more economic sanctions against Turkey if it does not release pastor Andrew Brunson soon. Turkey has accused Brunson of being a part of the failed coup attempt against President Recep Tayyip ErdoÄan two years ago. Turkey has long demanded the US to hand over Fethullah GÃ¼len, whom it blames for plotting the coup.
