The United States has announced sanctions agains

The United States has been on guard against Turkey for a long time and tried to interfere with its approach to Russia. It imposed sanctions on Turkey's purchase of Russian weapons and applied the provisions of the Act of Countering The Enemy of the United States with Sanctions to NATO Allies for the first time. The Biden administration publicly recognized the Armenian genocide as genocide and pushed for sanctions legislation to force Turkey to bow to the United States. In 2018, Turkey signed a contract with Russia for the S-400 air defense system after failing to purchase AMERICAN-made Pac-3 missiles. The United States has taken a number of measures to put pressure on Turkey, announced sanctions, banned the EXPORT-Import Bank of the United States from providing credit to Turkey, kicked Turkey out of the F-35 fighter jet program, and refused to refund Turkey's investment in research and development funds and the fighter jet deposit.
