The White House has released a copy of the letter sent to the President of Turkey, Recep Erdogan by President Donald Trump where he urged the former not to be a fool.
Trump’s letter to Erdogan was as a result of Trump’s decision to remove American troops from North Eastern Syria, a decision that might ensure the Kurds- America’s allies in the war against ISIS in Syria, are slaughtered by the Turkish military when Turkey invades the Northern border of Syria.
Trump warned on Twitter that he will destroy Turkey’s economy if they attack the Kurds and the letter to Turkey’s president has been released to prove he wasn’t fooling around .
“You don’t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don’t want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy – and I will,” he wrote.
“History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way,” Trump continued. “It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don’t happen.”
“Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool!” he finished, adding: “I will call you later.”
