Warning Turkey, Trump authorises sanctions and slaps steel tariffs - 92 News HD Plus

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump authorised sanctions on Turkey’s leaders, re-imposed steel tariffs and ended talks on a trade deal, seeking to punish the historically for its deadly offensive into Syria.

The president said he had issued an executive order to allow sanctions on sitting and former Turkish officials — although he has not yet imposed them — and was immediately ending talks on a US-Turkey trade deal he valued at $100 billion, a goal mentioned by Erdogan when he welcomed a US delegation last month.

Signaling an escalating rift in relations, Defense Secretary Mark Esper said he would head next week to Brussels to ask NATO allies to punish Turkey over the incursion, which he said had “resulted in the release of many dangerous ISIS detainees.” Less than an hour before his statement, Trump was on Twitter defending his hands-off stance, saying that the fate of Syria’s Kurds was not the business of the United States.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi earlier said she was forging ahead on a Turkey sanctions bill with Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a normally loyal Trump ally who has been sharply critical of the pullout.Trump confirmed he was pulling all troops out of northeastern Syria — a position he has favored for months and nearly carried out in December after a previous conversation with Erdogan.
