US says readying more Turkey sanctions unless detained pastor released
The Egyptian Gazette Published in The Egyptian Gazette on 17 - 08 - 2018

WASHINGTON, August 17, 2018 (MENA) - Treasury Secretary Steven T. Mnuchin said that the United States is preparing more sanctions against Turkey if American pastor Andrew Brunson is not released from custody, The Washington Times reported.
"We have more that we're planning to do if they don't release him quickly," he said late Thursday.
Mnuchin gave the update at a Cabinet meeting, where President Trump said Turkey is not turning out to be a great friend of the US.
The administration sanctioned two top Turkish officials last week over the imprisonment of Brunson, who was released from jail last month but is still being detained on house arrest. Turkey has accused him of fomenting an attempted coup, but the US says the charges are phony.
