here punishing turkey for policy decisions that turkey has taken that the u.s. does not agree with we know that in the past few years they've disagreed on a range of issues from syria as the most recent one turkey continuing to buy natural gas from iran even after the u.s. sanctions were imposed on iran. well i think that is partially correct but i also think that the additional factor is that for years turkey has used the most abusive language against the united states and its leaders and really generated a historic high in anti american sentiment inside a turkey turkey seems to have taken the u.s. for granted for a number of years as if they could play the u.s. for its for their own benefit and that somehow the americans would take it so i think that this one incident which is minor in and of itself is also a test of the relationship or at least two countries going to treat each other with respect focus on their interests are not well erdogan speaking of the relationship has said this he said his country's partnership with the u.s. is in jeopardy and he may st

of turkey's currency although the lira has rallied in recent days we can go live. in istanbul and sagna with president trump's recent tweets it seems yet again that the fate of this american pastor is central to turkey's currently crisis well indeed and president trump seems to be employing the similar type of rhetoric that he has done in other disputes for example saying that turkey hasn't been a very good friend and that turkey has taken advantage of the united states as well over the years and in response to this the foreign minister said that the u.s. didn't necessarily know who its friends were during this crisis but that turkey was committed to trying to find some kind of resolution to this interesting enough also the chinese foreign ministry said on friday that it really believed that turkey could and do the u.s. could resolve this diplomatically as well and that it said that believe that turkey could weather this storm and that it would be just a temporary blip were they to go ahead and resolve this diplomatically as well but it all comes really after this

and turkey over mine b. and other places along the border between syria and turkey have not been mentioned and that's another reason why i think there's still space to deal with there so those that shoe has not dropped yet and it would be good if it doesn't so that we could have those conversations and i would say at the moment the strategic relationship is there on paper and it needs to be reaffirmed in these to be reaffirmed quickly rob appears and former us ambassador to turkey thank you so much for your time sir my pleasure thank you the u.s. is planning to impose even higher tyrus on chinese imports upping the ante from ten percent to twenty five percent the proposed levy will cover two hundred billion dollars worth of goods civil ready being imposed on thirty four billion dollars worth of chinese imports president trump accuses china of unfair trade practices and is putting pressure on beijing to reform particular hain is joining us from washington d.c. patty give us some details of what you're hearing
