With no ceasefire in sight, the key question is: who can deter Russia in the Black Sea militarily? The answer @GaberYevgeniya writes in our latest #TURKEYSource blog, is Ukraine—with the support of its allies. atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/tu…
Russia has rejected another Black Sea ceasefire as attacks on civilian shipping continue. Ukraine has pushed back Russia’s fleet, but its ports remain exposed. In her latest #TURKEYSource blog, @GaberYevgeniya examines what allies can do to close that gap: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/tu…
Ukraine has changed the balance of power in the Black Sea without a navy that could match Russia’s fleet; but naval drones cannot shield ports from missile strikes.
In her latest #TURKEYSource blog, @GaberYevgeniya, explains that sustaining Kyiv’s gains requires stronger air defenses and support from its allies: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/tu…
As Washington increasingly uses trade policy to advance its foreign policy goals, Turkey faces both new pressures and new opportunities.
A broader US-Turkey bargain could exchange greater economic cooperation for more predictable tariff treatment.
Leo Ayala offers his perspective in #TURKEYSource: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/tu…
What should follow Russia’s rejection of another Black Sea truce? Stronger Ukrainian defenses, closer regional cooperation, and a clear response to attacks on civilian shipping. @GaberYevgeniya offers five recommendations for making deterrence more credible in her latest #TURKEYSource blog: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/tu…
Turkey’s manufacturing base, strategic geography, and links to markets across Europe, Central Asia, and the Middle East make it a valuable economic and security partner for the United States.
How can Washington and Ankara move beyond tariffs to capitalize on that opportunity?
Leo Ayala explains in the latest #TURKEYSource: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/tu…
The US-Turkey trade relationship has significant room to grow, but getting closer to the longstanding $100 billion trade goal will require looking beyond tariffs.
A broader bargain on market access, investment, and supply-chain security could chart the path forward.
Leo Ayala explores its potential in #TURKEYSource: atlanticcouncil.org/blogs/tu…
Tariffs are only one part of the story that is the US-Turkey economic relationship.
A broader bargain linking trade, investment, supply-chain security, and economic-security priorities could help Washington and Ankara move closer to their longstanding $100 billion trade goal.

It was a pleasure to host @KKTC_Disisleri's Minister H.E. Tahsin Ertuğruloğlu for an @AtlanticCouncil roundtable discussion on the Cyprus issue. This was a great discussion to get the perspective of TRNC on one of the most important conflicts of the region. Thank you Mr. Minister for sharing your perspective with our audience.
