Turkey's Erdogan warns US over sanctions threat

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has warned the US that sanctions would not force Ankara to "step back" after Donald Trump threatened to punish Turkey if a US pastor was not freed, in comments published Sunday. "You cannot make Turkey take a step back with sanctions," Erdogan said in his first comments since relations soured after Trump threatened the measures on Thursday if Pastor Andrew Brunson was not released.
