Greenwald<\/a><span>\u00a0(Pardee \u201907), Lecturer at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University,\u00a0was recently interviewed on the state of relations between the United States and Turkey\u00a0after the U.S. Department of the Treasury\u00a0sanctioned\u00a0two Turkish government officials in response to the imprisonment of an American pastor in Turkey in July.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Greenwald was quoted in an August 7, 2018 article by\u00a0<em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlanticcouncil.org\">The Atlantic Council<\/a>\u00a0<\/em>entitled &#8220;<a href=\"http:\/\/www.atlanticcouncil.org\/blogs\/new-atlanticist\/ankara-and-washington-reach-a-boiling-point-over-american-pastor-imprisonment\">Ankara and Washington Reach a Boiling Point over American Pastor Imprisonment.<\/a>&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>From the text of the article:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span>The new sanctions were targeted at Turkey\u2019s Justice and Interior ministers \u201cbecause they were claimed to be personally responsible for the detention of the pastor and other hostages,\u201d according to Michael Greenwald, Senior Advisor to the President and CEO at the Atlantic Council and former Department of Treasury Attach\u00e9 in the Middle East.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This may be just the beginning, Greenwald argued, as \u201cthe administration may be looking at other Turkish targets [for sanctions], with potential room for scaling up escalation if Turkey doesn\u2019t change behavior. Those targets potentially could include additional Turkish government officials and banks tied to Iran.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Greenwald noted that the direct sanctioning of Turkish government officials \u201cis quite a move against a NATO ally,\u201d and that the use of Global Magnitsky laws to enact the sanctions is a \u201cnoteworthy action.\u201d The United States has not employed the Global Magnitsky act against any other ally. However, in October 2014, the Obama administration banned six Hungarian officials from traveling into the United States based on allegations of corruption, drawing on authorities from President Proclamation 7750 adopted during the Bush administration to bar individuals who have engaged in corrupt practices harmful to US interests. That move, \u201cunprecedented among allies, sent relations with Hungary into a tailspin from which they have not yet recovered, something that does not augur well for the latest sanctions on Turkey,\u201d says Damon Wilson, executive vice president of the Atlantic Council.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><span>Michael B.
