Gen. Michael Hayden, the former CIA and NSA director, and a retired Air Force 4-star general, recently gave a special briefing to Newsmax Platinum readers on U.S. relations with Turkey.

Gen. Hayden warns in the exclusive interview that Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan appears to be increasingly autocratic and “more erratic” in his policies. That makes his response to U.S. diplomatic and economic pressure less predictable, he says.
