President Trump’s New Tough Tariff Against Turkey

I hope our economy doesn’t go into the toilet with tariffs just over this one person; and who knows the truth? Maybe he was a spy or something.
But Trumps insistence on these actions I think will hurt America worse, and may affect our military bases there in Turkey…

President Trump should also hit European countries that are still doing business with Russia, Iran and North Korea even after they all agreed on the sanctions to these countries. Germany is still importing gas from Russia even after they signed up for the additional sanctions.

This is a wait and see thing. Maybe it’ll work out for the benefit of the USA or maybe not. I am optimistic, because so far Trump has been right on many issues, but the “Hate Media” always seems to promote the doom and gloom. Just wait it out and then see if Trump was right on this. After all countries have been ripping us off for decades. As far as the Turkey issue is concerned, Trump is using economics to force his point. It didn’t have to be that way if Turkey simply let the guy go. What have they got to gain by holding on to him. they certainly have a lot to lose.

There is no trusting any of the European countries these days , sanctions only work minimally and tariffs can be a disaster long term but fair play in the markets is a must if the US is to lift them .

I was hoping the rogue nation would be Canada”

Great ! Raise tariffs even higher !

I suspect there is a lot more left unsaid here that we know. Having done two short tours in Turkey I learned one thing about the “terrible Turks”.There is no Turkish loyalty. Most will just go where the money is and far too many were thieves, stealing our equipment whenever possible. Perhaps I go too far here. I’m sure there are SOME honorable men there. WE just never met any of them.

Sanctions are the only way, that President Donald Trump can bring pressure on other countries, without being directly involved with their government. And I works, is our politicians keep their mouths shut, and support him.
—— In 1967-68, as USAF TSGT, on FTD, I managed MAP (Military Assistance Program) for USA, Defensed Department in Air Training Command. I supervised the electric-electronic skills in Avionics, for F102A Delta Daggar Interceptors, and for that whole year, I had the Radar-controlled weapons Systems , flight line chiefs and Instructors, while I oversaw the shorter periods for engines, hydraulics, and other skills, under the 3 other FTD Supervisor, and was also Unit Supply Officer. We learned to observe some don’t-do things, with foreign students, but did not have any real problems. On completion of training in Texas, Greeks and Turks returned to home base in Incirlik, and Athens, where they taught their own students, with a few USA instructors accompanying them, to observe and advise. USAF was getting out of F102 Delta Daggers, to get newer , more capable planes.
—- I transferred in 1978, to Grand Forks, N.D. where I managed FTD to teach Canadians and National Guard on F011 Voo Doo Interceptors, and we sold those planes.
Back in 1967-68, and 68-69, Those countries were allies and we got along find. Cooperated and made many friends. That is not true now, with present Leader in Turkey, who is converting Turkey back to the Muslim , strict systems, and they are having problems with citizens, versus leadership. They are sill on paper as being NATO, but they have problems. President Trump is more effective with handling that, then USA leaders of last 30-40 years, who are appeasers, talkers, talkers, talkers, and believe in ever moving red lines, without punishment. Donald meets them man to man, or man to women, as equals, but being firm in what his agenda is. We have too many who do not know their agenda, other then fattening their own bank accounts.

Yea!! President Trump isn’t messing around. And if Turkey doesn’t get its act together no F35s.

I wold hate to see the f35s sold to Turkey and then have them fly for Hamoss or other rogue nation . I do not trust an anti American nation

DESPOTS WHO FAKE ASSASSINATION ATTEMPTS ONLY USE IT FOR PURGE POWERS.
TRUMP IS DOING GOOD THINGS. NO WONDER THEY CALL HIM GOD’S INTERVENTION.

Why don’t we inform them that if the reverend is not returned to the USA within 48 hours the F35 orders will be cancelled.

I certainly don’t know anything about world affairs; but I surely know that God is still in control. Our president is a praying man and seeks God’s advice….it doesn’t get any better than that. President Trump has taken a lot of flack; but, God has made him strong. The Lord Jesus said, ” If the world hates you, remember, they hated Me first.” John 15:18

I voted for Trump, but not for lung cancer, if he wants to be re elected, he better come up with an environmental protection plan; it’s his biggest challenge

Turkey is a scary reminder of Nazi Germany.
After the phony coup, President Erdogan who is really a dictator, got rid of all the lawyers Judges and college professors that didn’t agree with him.
The majority of these were executed !
Turkey had a great man in 1920, Mustifa Kemal Ataturk that brought Turkey into the 20th century, Erdogan is destroying all that.
He also supplied ISIS with arms from Libya from Giddaffi’s arms warehouses.
This was the secret that Ambassador Stevens had and that was why he had to be killed in Benghazi.
He started the Syrian Civil War out of a feud between him and Assad.
