Opinion: The president once seemed willing to stand up to Recep Tayyip Erdogan. No longer.
Steven A. Cook is the Eni Enrico Mattei senior fellow for Middle East and North Africa studies at the Council on Foreign Relations.
But as a scholar of the Middle East, I can’t help but think of President Donald Trump’s other recent Turkey pardoning—yes, Turkey the country. For a time, it seemed that Trump was breaking with U.S. precedent by applying significant diplomatic and economic pressure on Turkey. The fact that he secured the release of American pastor Andrew Brunson, who had been imprisoned in Turkey on made-up charges, seemed to vindicate Trump’s tough approach.
Turkey has already made clear it is disregarding Trump’s mid-November magnanimity. At his news conference with Erdogan, Trump signaled that he wanted to find a workaround to avoid . Turkish officials also declared that if, as a penalty, Ankara is kept out of the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter program—Turkey is part of a consortium supplying parts for America’s high-tech, next-generation fighter plane and plans to purchase 100 of them—the Turks will “look elsewhere” to fulfill their defense needs.
