Washington, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 16th Aug, 2018 ) :The White House said Wednesday that Turkey's tariff hikes on US products in retaliation for US sanctions on Ankara were "regrettable" and again called for the immediate release of American pastor Andrew Brunson.
"The tariffs that the United States placed on Turkey were out of national security interests. Theirs are out of retaliation," White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said.
She lamented that Turkey had treated Brunson, "who we know to be a very good person and a strong Christian who has done nothing wrong, very unfairly, very badly."
