Turkey's Election Fallout: US-Turkey Ties Unlikely to Reset.

The US is unlikely to reset its ties with Turkey after the presidential runoff on Sunday, with Recep Tayyip Erdogan expected to win. Diplomats and analysts are hopeful that Sweden will finally be admitted into NATO, but whoever wins, the relationship between Turkey and the US is expected to remain "totally transactional". The F-16 fighter jet deal will be a key bellwether of US-Turkey ties after the election, but it faces stiff opposition in Congress. Erdogan's economic policies will deter much-needed western investment, making him more dependent on autocrats in the Middle East and Russia for financial support.
