He cast doubt on the S-400's compatibility with NATO equipment at a press conference on July 14.
"The question is, is the NATO system compatible with the Russian system? They will never be compatible," Mattis said, noting that the US Defense Department needs to wait and see how Türkiye will use the Russian air defense missile system.
Asked whether the US would approve Türkiye's purchase of the systems, Mattis said it was Ankara's "sovereign decision."
