US and Turkey, a strained relationship of long-time allies

Hosted by Barbara Bogaev Aug. 25, 2016 National
Tensions have been growing between Turkey and the US since last month's failed coup. Turkey wants the US to extradite the exiled Muslim cleric it says was behind the attempt. It's also unhappy with America's alliance with Syrian Kurdish militias against the Islamic state. Guest host Barbara Bogaev explores what's at stake in this troubled relationship with a longtime ally.
