WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 17th June, 2021) US President Joe Biden discussed with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan the issue of Russian-made S-400 air defense systems, but no resolution was found with both parties determined to continue the dialogue, White House National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said on Thursday.

"On the S-400 - they discussed it.

There was not a resolution of the issue, there was a commitment to continue the dialogue on the S-400," Sullivan told reporters.

Biden and Erdogan met on the sidelines of a NATO summit in Brussels on June 14. Erdogan earlier said that he reaffirmed to Biden that Turkey's stand on S-400 systems remains unchanged. The United States pressures its NATO ally into relinquishing the purchase.
