Heather Nauert

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on May 17 that Turkey recalling its ambassador from Washington is not likely to affect the relations between the two countries. 

President Donald Trump appeared to signal the withdrawal 'very soon" of U.S. troops from Syria on Thursday, surprising the Pentagon and State Department.

U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson’s planned visit to Turkey on Feb. 15 shows just how “serious this matter is,” State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on Feb. 13, referring to the stark differences in Turkish and U.S. interests in Syria during the daily briefing. 

The U.S. State Department has approved an export license for Ukraine to buy certain light weapons and small arms from U.S. manufacturers, spokeswoman Heather Nauert said on Wednesday, Reuters reported.

U.S. State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said on Nov. 7 that they had positive conversations with the Turkish government regarding the ongoing visa issue and that it was a “step in the right direction.”

Russia promised on Sept. 1 a "tough response" to the United States' decision to shut its consulate in San Francisco in the latest round of a diplomatic tit-for-tat.

Mysterious "incidents" caused physical symptoms in at least 16 Americans linked to the U.S. embassy in Cuba, the State Department said on Aug. 24, in what media reports have described as an "acoustic attack." 

U.S. and Canadian officials were investigating Aug. 10  after diplomats posted to Havana fell ill, amid reports that they may have been targeted by a mysterious sonic weapon.

U.S. officials refused to directly blame Cuba itself for the "incidents," which appear to have begun last year, and Havana insisted it is working to protect the U.S. mission.

The United States is concerned over Turkey's actions against opposition, U.S. State Department Spokesperson Heather Nauert has said. 

When asked to comment on the arrest of main opposition Republican People's Party (CHP) Istanbul lawmaker Enis Berberoğlu, Nauert said that "they are trying to gather information."

The State Department has reportedly called on Turkey to respect the multifaceted history of the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul.
