Turkey slams ‘interventionist’ Biden for saying US must ‘embolden’ opposition to ‘defeat’ Erdogan in resurfaced interview

A video, showing Democratic presidential candidate Joe Biden arguing that the US should rally behind the Turkish opposition, drew a huge backlash in Ankara, which denounced the remark as meddling in its internal affairs.

The clip, which was filmed in December for a January episode of the New York Times’ documentary series The Weekly, began making waves on social media on Thursday, after it was picked up by Kurdish journalist Arif Zêrevan.

In the video Biden says that the US, presumably under his presidency, should “make it clear” that “we support opposition

Biden added that he does not want to see Erdogan toppled in a coup, but rather ousted through the “electoral process.”

While airing his grievances at the Erdogan government, Biden specifically mentioned Ankara’s refusal to cave into Washington's pressure and tear down the deal to buy Russian-made S-400 air defense systems. The Turkish military received its first S-400 shipment last year, and confirmed in June that it had “agreed in principle” with Moscow on the second delivery.

Although Washnigton retaliated by suspending Turkey from the list of contributors to the F-35 program and threatened sanctions, Biden said that it was not enough.

He has to pay a price. He has to pay a price for whether or not we’re going to continue to sell certain weapons to him.

"In fact, if he has the air defense system that they’re flying F-15s through to see how they can try to figure out how to do it," he added.

The video, which is part of The NYT’s extensive interview with Biden and which transcript was published back in January, has sparked a ruckus in the Turkish-speaking part of Twittersphere, sending Biden’s name

trending.

President Donald Trump said Saturday he may ask for the resignation of every member of his cabinet if he’s re-elected – and added that he’s not pleased with all of them.

“I could see something like that happening,” Trump said in response to a question from a reporter at his Bedminster, New Jersey, golf club. “I wouldn’t say I’m thrilled with everybody, frankly.”

The president didn’t specify which cabinet members he’s unhappy with.

Trump has privately said that he intends to replace Secretary of Defense Mark Esper after the November election, according to people familiar with internal discussions.

Asked about Esper, Trump said Saturday that he had no problem with his defense secretary.
