摘要

The State Department plans to craft waivers to continue U.S. arms sales to Turkey, despite escalating diplomatic tensions and economic sanctions over Ankara's ongoing military operations against Kurdish forces in northern Syria,according to a senior defense official. The official said the Pentagon expects the waivers soon so that "official business" between the United States and Turkey — a NATO ally ～ can continue.
