Turkish American relationship

[what]

It is far from certain a compromise can be struck. But the Turkish official said Mr. Biden’s advisers have indicated in low-level discussions they were open to considering compromises as they are proposed, including convening a NATO working group to look at whether Russia could indeed penetrate Western military systems through the missile defense systems.

Officials said President-elect Joseph R. Biden Jr. must keep from alienating the government in Ankara even as the U.S. and European allies try to curb Turkey’s military ambitions with sanctions.

Of course CATSA would still apply most likely. In fact they are talking about making Turkey an example for other countries that are interested in Russian equipment.

U.S. poised to impose sanctions on Turkey over Russian defense buy - sources​

The United States is poised to impose sanctions on Turkey over its acquisition last year of Russian S-400 air defense systems, four sources including two U.S. officials familiar with the matter told Reuters on Thursday.

The long-anticipated move, which is likely to infuriate Ankara and severely complicate ties with the incoming administration of President-elect Joe Biden, could be announced any day, sources said.

The sanctions would target Turkey’s Presidency of Defence Industries and its president Ismail Demir, sources have said.

Let's see if Trump chooses some light sanctions as a goodbye gift to his bro Erdogan or if Pompeo and their likes had the say.

US to impose sanctions on Turkey over Russian defence purchase

Erdogan attacks ‘disrespectful’ plan by Trump administration for penalties against Ankara

www.ft.com

Exerpts:

One of the people said the sanctions would probably be announced on Friday and were being crafted to be “as mild as possible” to placate Congress while avoiding serious damage to the extensive US-Turkey military relationship.

Reuters news agency first reported that the US sanctions were imminent, saying the measures would target Ismail Demir, the head of the Turkey’s Presidency of Defence Industries, known as SSB, who reports directly to Mr Erdogan and was responsible for procuring the S-400 system.

But measures that narrowly target Mr Demir and the SSB would be likely to have a limited immediate effect on the Turkish economy and could be met with relief from foreign investors who have fretted about the prospect of more damaging measures.

Well, it passed with super majority, so there won't be any legal grounds for Trump to veto it.

He has to sign it. I am not sure he can avoid a lawsuit if he rejects to sign it.
