Because of these tweets and US’s actions worsened Turkey's currency for a short time. But now Turkey’s curency, which had recovered from record losses against the dollar earlier in the week, was down about 6 percent against the dollar on Friday, at 6.17.
"TURKEY CAN'T TAKE OUR PEOPLE"
On Friday Trump continued his threats. US President speaking to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House before departing for a trip to New York state, said of Turkey:“Turkey has been a problem for a long time. They’ve not acted as a friend. So you will see what happens. They can’t take our people.”

Some are threatening us with economy, sanctions, exchange rates, interests and inflation. We know your shenanigans and we will defy you."
