Jim Inhofe (R-Okla.), chairman of the Senate Armed Services Committee, today released the following statement regarding the Trump administration's announcement that it will impose sanctions on the government of Turkey as a result of its purchase of the Russian-made S-400 air and missile defense system: \"President Trump has taken the right step in holding Turkey to\r\naccount for the ill-advised step of acquiring a Russian air and missile defense\r\nsystem instead of turning to its Western partners to fulfill its security\r\nneeds. Sanctioning Turkey forpurchasing, accepting and testing the\r\nRussian-made S-400 air defense systemcontinues President Trump's proven\r\ntrack record of being tough on Russia. The consequences of President Erdogan's\r\ndecision to jeopardize U.S. national security and support Russian interests\r\nwere consistentlymade clear on numerous occasions there is no surprise\r\nhere. I applaud President Trump's removal of Turkeyfrom the F-35 program\r\nandhis imposition ofsanctions as required by the Countering\r\nAmerica's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act. President Trump's tailored,\r\ntargeted sanctions send Turkey, and other countries looking to do Russian arms\r\ntransactions, the exact right message: this will undermine and not enhance your\r\nsecurity.\"", 1, "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z", "2026-03-30T12:14:52Z"]], "columns": ["url", "title", "date", "year", "month", "party", "chamber", "state", "member_name", "bioguide_id", "domain", "scraper", "source", "date_source", "text", "has_text", "collected_at", "updated_at"], "primary_keys": ["url"], "primary_key_values": ["https://www.inhofe.senate.gov/newsroom/press-releases/sasc-chairman-inhofe-statement-on-sanctions-on-turkey"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 1.3874860014766455, "source": "dwillis/congress-press", "source_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press", "license": "MIT", "license_url": "https://github.com/dwillis/congress-press/blob/main/LICENSE"}
