President Erdogan Announces Boycott of U.S. Electrical Goods

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that Ankara announced a boycott of electronic products manufactured in the U.S. because of the Washington “economic attack”. “Previously, such things were done more secretly and now they are coming at us openly. We can do two things, economically and politically. From an economic position, we take actions, our Finance Ministry and Treasury are working day and night. In addition, we will boycott electronic goods from the United States. They have iPhone, but on the other hand there is Samsung”, he said. Erdogan recalled about Turkish willing to buy US drones, Washington replied that Congress did not allow this. This situation, according to him, made Turkey create such devices themselves and now it has the necessary quantities of them, RIA Novosti reported. Earlier, White House economic adviser Kevin Hassett, suggested that the economic difficulties faced by Turkey are due to the fact that President Recep Erdogan sacrificed the principles of democracy.
