The pledge, made in a phone call, came after Turkish presidential spokesman Ibrahim Kalin said American legislation to impose sanctions against Turkey will not affect Ankara's use of the Russian S-400 missile defense system even if it passes the US Congress.
A US Senate committee backed legislation on Wednesday to sanction Turkey after its offensive in northern Syria and its purchase of S-400s.
It was the latest move by lawmakers to push US President Donald Trump to take a harder line against Ankara.
