‘They have been good to deal with’: Trump lauds US-Turkey relations & trade hours after vowing to obliterate its economy
Less than a day after threatening to “obliterate” Turkey’s economy if it does anything “off limits” in northern Syria against the Kurds, Donald Trump said that Ankara is actually a great trading partner and a trusted NATO ally.
The US president took to Twitter early on Tuesday in an apparent attempt to soften the hostile rhetoric he used against Turkey just hours before.
“So many people conveniently forget that Turkey is a big trading partner of the United States, in fact they make the structural steel frame for our F-35 Fighter Jet,” Trump wrote.
He also lauded relations between the two countries, bragging about their – and his own – achievements, stressing that Ankara is actually “an important member in good standing of NATO.”
