In Turkey, locals did not appreciate the presence of US troops and expressed their anger at one of the soldiers
The USS Mount Whitney, a vessel of the US Sixth Fleet, which will take part in NATO exercises in the Black Sea, arrived in Istanbul. One of the soldiers decided to take a walk around the city, but it did not turn out well for him.
Telegram channel “SMOTRI” published a video which shows the American soldier being attacked by locals. They tried to choke him with a bag.
The Turks demanded that the US troops leave the country immediately and called them aggressors. The American was eventually able to fight off the “hospitable” Istanbulis and ran away from them through the streets.
