Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put US President Donald Trump's letter"in the bin", the BBC has been told.
Turkish presidential sources told BBC Turkish that the letter was"thoroughly rejected" by Mr Erdogan. "Let's work out a good deal! You don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don't want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy - and I will," Mr Trump said in the letter."History will look upon you favourably if you get this done the right and humane way. It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don't happen.
But ever since President Obama partnered up with the Syrian Kurds of the SDF against the jihadists of IS it was clear the arrangement would lead to problems with the Turks. That's because the SDF is very close to the Turkish Kurds of the PKK. Turkey says they are two halves of the same terror group.
It’s like taking bets on which of two turds floating in your swimming pool is better
To be fair it was written in crayon with a massive tomato sauce stain
He can't read English so it was a waste of time😂😂😂
How are the 50 US nukes getting on in Turkey?
Over to Mr Trump for the next step.
Mmmm murderous dictator versus balloon of hot air.
Well that was expected.
Tbf I'd have done the same
As he should even I wouldn't read a letter from a country that likes coffee one day but then decides it hates coffee, tea is better but then hates tea and decides coffee is better afterall, Al Qaida, Isis, the Kurds...
Maybe he should send him a tweet?
In...the..bin... trumpletter
Is there any plausable reason why Trump didn't discuss this with Erdogan BEFORE pulling his troops out? Turkey would never have attacked if the US soldiers just sat in. Where is the military and Dipmomatic strategy? Trump is bumbling from one fiasco to another.
This act makes that letter more valuable than a Banksy. I hope a Turkish intern realized that.
Was he supposed to frame it?
😂😂😂😂

Lol, that’s the best place for any letter from a Trump.
Aussi respectueux que Bolsonaro. Pauvre monde!
Damn, just when Trump was at his diplomatic best, too.
It's that special relationship that Trump cultivates
Erdogan is acting very strange as a supposed NATO member.
In fairness probably thought it was a hoax sent by a schoolboy as a bet.
Time to kick turkey out of NATO.
johnsweeneyroar DYoung90 😂😂😂
It would have been good to tip bin over Trump's head.
I’ll bet. Tump is such a fool.
Great note , simple and to the point .
Was that before or after he set fire to it?
Betraying the Kurds into the hands of Islamist Turkey is the biggest mistake of Trump's Presidency
He Read it!
Second rate president of third rate country stripped of human rights. He’d better not piss the US off too much
Full of mistakes
Aww two kids are not getting alone.. l am sure they’ll be friends again.. bless them (!)

It doesn’t matter. He got the message.
He probably thought a very young child wrote it and thought it wasn't real. DumbDonald
'Tell the media, tell the media, tell the media, I'm a big boy aren't I' - Recep Tayyip Erdoğan
Welldone Erdogan
Erdoğan 🤲
Sait t'on si il l'a jeté après l'avoir utilisé 😌 ?
MAGA? Huh!?
Hmmmmmmmm...
And yet Trump is offended Nancy laughed at it? Lol
Who wouldn’t?
Because President Erdogan is angry for being called a fool. There must be mutual respect for each other.
Got his new pal now -
After grading it F- for english composition.
....yeah, and CNN is real news.
Erdogan erdogan,
He probably thought it was faked by a 6yr old.
And he’s (trump) still in power. Bravo America. Bravo.
Lol, I'm surprised he didn't wipe his arse on it
Probably thought it was a joke written by a handicapped child
My better self read this as 'Turkish president Erdogan 'threw Trump in bin'' and for just the slightest moment my heart felt once again that the world was a better place to be in.
President Trump is an Absolute GENIUS.
these nice hard guys though...
Obviously, no one takes Desperate Donald seriously
He may come to regret that...
😂😂😂😂😂
