Greenwald Interviewed on Trump’s Tariffs on Turkey

Michael B. Greenwald (Pardee ’07), Lecturer at the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University, was recently interviewed on the state of relations between the United States and Turkey after U.S. President Donald Trump announced the doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs on Turkey.

Greenwald was interviewed for an August 10, 2018 article by The Atlantic Council entitled “Trump Extends Feud with Turkey: Now What?

From the text of the article:

“The announcement today of the tariffs on steel and aluminum in Turkey continues to further escalate a growing diplomatic crisis between Turkey and the United States. As the Turkish lira slides and economic prospects worsen, Erdoğan will need to reverse course and assure investors of Turkey’s central bank independence, while also easing tensions with Washington. It is also noteworthy to observe the Trump administration’s combination of the trade and sanctions policy playbooks, as visible earlier by the timing of the sanctions onRusal– one of the largest aluminum producers globally- amid a broader push for aluminum tariffs.”
