Turkey Wants To Boycott US Phones

Trade wars between the U.S. and Turkey may have reached a crescendo. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has threatened to boycott U.S. electronic goods in his nation. This follows the doubling of tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum imported into the U.S., coupled with U.S. allegations that Turkey has imposed an “unjust detention” on a pastor over his alleged links to the outlawed Kurdistan Workers Party and the Gulenist movement.

Erdogan berated the "explicit economic attack" by the U.S. against  his country, and urged the Turkish population to buy Samsung Electronics Co. or locally made Venus Vestel smartphones – versus American products such as iPhones.
