Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan says his country will NOT take a step back in the face of sanctions by the United States. Erdogan said the friendship between Turkey and the US is at risk, and warned that Washington will lose a sincere partner. The two countries are at odds over Turkey's detention of American pastor Andrew Brunson. The US has threatened to impose sanctions on Turkey, if it refuses to release him. The American pastor has been in Turkey for more than two decades. He was imprisoned nearly two years ago over the 2016 failed military coup in Turkey. Ankara accuses him of backing the group it says was behind the coup. Brunson denies the charges. This week, he was transferred to house arrest.
