It is the sense of Congress that, if the Government of Turkey purchases the S–400 air defense system from the Russian Federation— such a purchase would constitute a significant transaction within the meaning of section 231(a) of the Countering Russian Influence in Europe and Eurasia Act of 2017 ( 22 U.S.C. 9525(a) ); such a purchase would endanger the integrity of the NATO alliance; such a purchase would adversely affect ongoing operations of the United States Armed Forces, including coalition operations in which the United States Armed Forces participate; such a purchase would result in a significant impact to defense cooperation between the United States and Turkey; such a purchase would significantly increase the risk of compromising United States defense systems and operational capabilities; and the President should faithfully execute the Countering Russian Influence in Europe and Eurasia Act of 2017 by imposing and applying sanctions described in section 235 of that Act ( 22 U.S.C. 9529 ) with respect to any individual or entity determined to have engaged in such significant transaction as if such person were a sanctioned person for purposes of such Act.
