The President announced that he was increasing tariffs on Turkey on steel and aluminum today. The announcement sent the Turkish Lira plunging.
I have just authorized a doubling of Tariffs on Steel and Aluminum with respect to Turkey as their currency, the Turkish Lira, slides rapidly downward against our very strong Dollar! Aluminum will now be 20% and Steel 50%. Our relations with Turkey are not good at this time!

This action seems to stem from Turkey’s refusal to release a pastor who has been held in the country for awhile now. The pastor was accused of helping plot that weird coup against Turkey’s leader Erdogan which many have been a fake coup staged by Erdogan himself for political purposes.
Turkey is most definitely not a friend. In fact, it is weird that the Turks are in NATO. They should be thrown out of the alliance and Russia should be brought in. The only reason that this hasn’t happened is because of Jews who want to see the two most powerful White nations in the world at odds with one another.
But yes to hell with Turkey. Erdogan wants to flood Europe with millions of his fellow Turkroaches so that by itself is reason for drastic action to be taken against them.
