Turkeys go too far, CnC will impose santions

President Donald Trump said that he will impose sanctions on any Turkish officials—whether current or former—who are linked to Turkey’s actions in northern Syria.

Trump said on Monday that he will issue an executive order soon authorizing the sanctions, calling Turkey’s actions in Syria “destabilizing.”

Trump said steel tariffs will jump back to 50 percent.

He also said the United States will immediately halt negotiations with Turkey over a $100 billion trade deal that was being hammered out between the two countries.

“This order will enable the United States to impose powerful additional sanctions on those who may be involved in serious human rights abuses, obstructing a ceasefire, preventing displaced persons from returning home, forcibly repatriating refugees, or threatening the peace, security, or stability in Syria. The order will authorize a broad range of consequences, including financial sanctions, the blocking of property, and barring entry into the United States,” Trump said.

Turkey must ensure the safety of civilians … and is now, or may be in the future, responsible for the ongoing detention of ISIS terrorists in the region,” Trump added. “Unfortunately, Turkey does not appear to be mitigating the humanitarian effects of its invasion.”
