Turkey has been given a deadline of the end of July to choose between buying US fighter jets and Russian anti-aircraft missile systems.
Acting US Defence Secretary Patrick Shanahan set out the ultimatum in a letter to his Turkish counterpart, Hulusi Akar.
Turkey, he said, could not have both America's F-35 advanced fighter jets and Russia's S-400 systems.
