Retaliation
Ankara, Aug. 3, 2018 (Reuters/NAN) Turkey will always exercise its right to retaliate to unfair trade measures to protect its economic interests, the Turkish Trade Ministry said on Friday.
It said that Turkey’s steel and iron sector did not constitute a threat to the U.S.
Turkey said in May it would impose counter-measures on the U.S. in retaliation against steel and aluminium import tariffs imposed by President Donald Trump.
In a meeting with the representatives of U.S. firms, Trade Minister, Ruhsar Pekcan, called on the U.S. to act jointly with Turkey in steel and iron ore, according to a ministry statement. (Reuters/NAN)
