ISTANBUL (Reuters) - The United States is poised to impose sanctions on Turkey over its acquisition of Russian S-400 air defence systems, a step likely to worsen relations between the two NATO allies that are already strained by a range of disputes.

Differences include policy in Syria where both countries have troops, a U.S. court case against a Turkish bank for breaching Iran sanctions, and Turkey's demand that the United States extradite a cleric it blames for a 2016 coup attempt.
