Pompeo: Turkey needs to 'rejoin NATO’

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is working to convince Turkey to “rejoin NATO” by better reflecting NATO’s goals, following years of divergence with the U.S.

“They have been an important NATO partner,” Pompeo told the House Foreign Affairs Committee during a Wednesday hearing. “We need their behavior to reflect the objectives of NATO, and that’s what we’re diligently working to do: to get them to rejoin NATO, in a way, with their actions, consistent with what we’re trying to achieve in NATO. And not take actions that undermine its efforts.”
