Trump Floats Steel Tariffs To Punish Turkey For Genocide, Suggests Kurds Ask ‘Napoleon Bonaparte’ For Protection
Under intense pressure from Republicans, Democrats, the international community and especially Syrian Kurds who have been too busy dying to lodge a formal complaint with Congress, Donald Trump pulled the sanctions trigger on Turkey.
Or at least he was on the verge of doing so on Monday.
"I will soon be issuing an Executive Order authorizing the imposition of sanctions against current and former officials of the Government of Turkey and any persons contributing to Turkey's destabilizing actions
They’re going to “totally shut down the Turkey economy.” How will Erdogan sleep tonight?
Yes, tariffs have worked so well for Trump.
And after Assad uses the Kurds as front line fodder against the Turks and assuming he can push them back to the border… Who is going to protect the Kurds from Assad??? Frying pan to the fire.
