If Turkey refuses, a forthcoming sale of a Patriot missile defense system from the U.S. will be halted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe have been clear with Turkey,\u201d the U.S. official said. \u201cThe will not receive the Patriot if they purchase the S-400.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Patriot sale, estimated at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/europe\/2018\/12\/19\/turkey-cleared-by-us-for-35-billion-patriot-missile-deal-despite-s-400-row\/\" target=_blank>$3.5 billion,<\/a> would cover the procurement of 80 Patriot MIM-104E Guidance Enhanced and 60 PAC-3 Missile Segment Enhancement missiles, as well as associated equipment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The S-400 sale would also impact Turkey\u2019s role in the international development of the fifth generation Joint Strike Fighter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Earlier this year, the Pentagon reported to Congress on the impact to the F-35 program if it ditches Turkey as a partner. Turkey sources some of the parts for the program and that action could result in delays to the program if Turkey is no longer a contributor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Congress still has to decide what action to take.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pence did mention another product from the East it considers a threat, China\u2019s communication network.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe United States has also been very clear with our security partners on the threats posed by Huawei and other Chinese telecom companies that requires them to provide Beijing\u2019s vast security apparatus with access to any data that touches their network or equipment,\u201d Pence said. &#8220;We must protect our critical telecom
