Turkey on Wednesday sharply ramped up its tariffs on some U.S. imports, including on cars, alcohol, rice and cosmetics, according to multiple published reports citing the country's Official Gazette. The move by President Recep Erdogan's government comes after U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday said he authorized the doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs on Ankara. Turkish Vice President Fuat Oktay said in a tweet that the tariffs on certain products were increased "within the framework of the principle of reciprocity in retaliation for the conscious economic attacks by the United States," according to an Associated Press report.
