Trump made a reference to AKP Chairman and President Erdoğan, noting that his words could be confused with the country of Turkey due to the play on words.

U.S. President Trump said, “I’m saying 33 percent. Think about it. I’m not talking about the country of Turkey.

Turkey and Erdoğan are doing well. It’s just that… I don’t want Erdoğan to call me and say, ‘I haven’t dropped 33 percent.’

He is our friend. We have to look after our friends.”
