ISTANBUL, Sept. 22 (Xinhua) — Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has lifted retaliatory tariffs on some U.S. goods, including alcoholic beverages, passenger cars, leaf tobacco and cosmetics, according to a decree published in the Official Gazette on Monday.
In 2018, the United States imposed additional tariffs on steel and aluminum imports. In response, Ankara, in accordance with World Trade Organization (WTO) rules, adopted countermeasures and imposed additional tariffs on a number of American goods, according to a statement from the Turkish Ministry of Trade on Monday.
The agency stated that following positive negotiations with the United States and consultations under the WTO dispute settlement mechanism, these duties have now been lifted. The statement noted that measures aimed at expanding and diversifying economic relations with the United States will continue to be developed in line with the goal of achieving a trade volume of $100 billion.
Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, currently in New York to attend the UN General Assembly, is expected to meet with US President Donald Trump at the White House on Thursday. In a recent statement posted on his social media account, he announced that they would discuss a range of issues, focusing on trade, investment, and the defense industry.
