Trump Says Turkey Relations 'Not Good At This Time'
- 6 years ago
According to CNN, President Donald Trump is greenlighting a doubling down on steel and aluminum tariffs on Turkey, and has warned that US relations with the country "are not good at this time." The moves stem from Trump's frustration over a detained American pastor held by Turkey on what US officials say are false charges. Trump's announcement Friday could further escalate tensions with Turkey, continuing the steady downward spiral of US relations with Ankara.
