If you want to make it about steel feel free to do so.
The picture is much larger than that.
Trump said he would destroy their economy. He has the power to do so.
Now, they need to make a choice.

He doesn’t have the power to destroy their economy if we don’t buy a lot of steel of do much trade with them.
Fat donald won’t do crap because of the trump tower in Turkey.
Is it?
How?
They already did.
Why, yes he does.
Do you forget that the dollar is the gold standard?
What steps can the President take to destroy Turkey’s economy?
How much steel do we buy from turkey? How much trade in general do we do with turkey?
The United States is 5% of Turkey’s total steel export. I’m guessing this will fall short of a crippling blow to their economy. Just a guess.

It’s like taking a box of chicken nuggets and stomping on them. It’ll hurt McDonalds in no way shape or form.
Please explain how the US dollar being the gold standard could lead to us crippling turkeys economy even though we are a small trading partner with them.
How exactly would we hurt them?
Or smashing the Kurig you already bought.
It is what he said he would do.
Good for him. He can cripple their economy. They need to make a choice.
In a statement posted to Twitter earlier on Monday, Trump specifically announced that steel tariffs would “be increased back up to 50 percent,” and the U.S. will “immediately stop negotiations … with respect to a $100 billion trade deal with Turkey.”
The order would enable “powerful” additional sanctions against those who “may be involved in serious human rights abuses, obstructing a ceasefire, preventing displaced persons from returning home, forcibly repatriation refugees, or threatening the peace, security, or stability in Syria,” Trump wrote.
Current and former Turkish officials, as well as anyone contributing to “Turkey’s destabilizing actions in northeast Syria,” would be targeted, Trump said.
Do you actually believe that there is a trade deal in the works between the US and Turkey that is worth $100 billion?
Trade with Turkey is about $20 billion a year.
