US talking to Turkey about China missile deal concerns - envoy

The United States is talking to Turkey about its concern over Ankara's decision to co-produce a long-range air and missile defense system with a Chinese firm under U.S. sanctions, U.S. Ambassador Francis Ricciardone said on Thursday.
   
"We are very concerned about the prospective deal with the sanctioned Chinese firm. Yes this is a commercial decision, it is Turkey's sovereign right, but we are concerned about what it means for allied air defense," Ricciardone told reporters.
