Some Republican Senators Support President-Elect Biden

First Statement on Turkey from Biden's Advisor: 

Michael Carpenter, the foreign policy advisor to Joe Biden, spoke  at a virtual diplomatic conference organized in Greece, and he said, "We are not seeking to drive Turkey into a corner or crumple its economy through sanctions." Carpenter, who reminded that the Turkish Lira is the currency which has lost the most value among the currencies among the developing countries in particular in the last couple of years, said that the fact that Turkey is obligated to the conditions of the free market and free trade is an important "starting point" for the U.S. and the EU. However, the U.S. bureaucrat, who stated that pressuring Turkey with economic sanctions was not the correct method, argued that NATO members needed to establish a "common front."
