If the new admin wants to impose further sanctions on Turkey for their S400 purchase it will get tricky for them to waive sanctions on India for the same purchase. Conversely it will be difficult for them to justify sanctioning India but not Turkey. Let us see. The new US admin will not sanction Tu...
