Congress raises key questions on US-Turkey ties during hearings with Secretary Blinken

We’re heading to the US Congress on today’s episode, where Senator Menendez once again caught everyone’s attention while questioning Secretary of State Antony Blinken this week when he sharply criticized Turkey. Representative David Cicilline also had a noteworthy exchange with Secretary Blinken in the House, asking what steps the Biden Administration is taking to ensure that US weapons are not used by Turkey to threaten allies and partners in the region.
