US President Joe Biden has extended sanctions against Turkey for another year. This was reported by the press service of the White House.

“The actions of the Turkish government, represented in the military offensive in northeastern Syria, undermine the campaign to defeat ISIS,” Biden said in a statement published by the White House on its official website.

The US has imposed sanctions on Turkey since 2019 due to the military operation it launched against the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF).

On October 14, 2019, the former US President Donald Trump issued an executive order imposing sanctions on Turkey for its military operation in Syria.

The sanctions included a number of senior Turkish officials, including both the Ministers of Defense and Energy.

“That operation endangers civilians, threatens peace, security, and stability in the region, and poses an exceptional risk to the national security and foreign policies of the US,” the White House statement added.
