President Donald Trump wrote a letter to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan saying that he can “destroy” the Turkish economy if Erdogan does not “work out a deal,” presumably over the country’s continued attacks on the Kurds in northern Syria.
In the letter, dated Oct. 9 and shared Oct. 16 by FOX Business on Twitter, Trump urges Erdogan to “work out a good deal,” saying “you don’t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people.” The White House confirmed the authenticity of the letter to the PBS NewsHour.
