The Dhaka Times Desk If they (US) have dollars, then we have Allah, said Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan made such a comment to the people present in his hometown Guneysu in Rije Province, Turkey, last Friday.
Erdoğan said that today we are better than yesterday. Tomorrow will be better than today. It should be noted that US President Donald Trump imposed double tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum on Friday.
In a post on his Twitter account at 5:47 a.m. local time, Donald Trump said, "Their currency has become very weak against our strong dollar." Currently, US relations with Turkey are not good.
The Turkish lira fell 18 percent against the dollar after the decision to raise US tariffs. The United States announced the increase in tariffs within days of imposing sanctions on Turkish Justice Minister Abdulhamit Gul and Interior Minister Suleiman Soylu.
