Several members of Congress have been quietly blocking multiple US arms sales to Turkey as the Trump administration has still yet to impose mandatory sanctions on the country over its purchase of a Russian-made missile defense system, according to several congressional aides, APA reports quoting CNN.

Sources tell CNN that the top Democrat and Republican on the House Foreign Affairs Committee -- Chairman Eliot Engel and Ranking Member Michael McCaul -- are involved in the effort.
