The United States (USA) wants to turn the tension between Russia and Georgia into an opportunity and has an eye to Turkey's Trabzon port.
A commander of the US, who wanted to turn the tension between Russia and Georgia into an opportunity, went to Trabzon last year and it was discovered that he had been investigating the city and asked whether the Port of Trabzon was compatible with the anchoring of the warships. The commander went further and claimed that he wanted the port of Trabzon for military ships. It was recorded that the US delegation arrived in Trabzon before moving to Georgia and visited the sea port.
The Port of Trabzon, the most strategic port of the Black Sea, was used as a NATO military port in the past. The US has the desire to come to the Black Sea waters for years. For this reason, he wants to play an active role in the region in case of tension caused by placing military ships in Trabzon Port. The US, which is in contact with Georgia, wants to benefit from Trabzon Port against Russia.
