Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan indicated that he may close the country’s Incirlik Air Base, which is home to dozens of American nuclear warheads, if the United States imposes sanctions on the country.

“If it is necessary for us to take such a step, of course we have the authority,” he said on Sunday. “If this is necessary, together with our delegations, we will close down Incirlik if necessary.”
