| [ARABNEWS] The lira weakened against the dollar on Tuesday after US President Donald Trump ...New York real estate developer, described by Dems as illiterate, racist, misogynistic, and what ever other unpleasant descriptions they can think of, elected by the rest of us as 45th President of the United States... said he would give ...just another cheapjack Moslem dictatorship, brought to you by the Moslem Brüderbund.... no concessions in return for the release of a detained American pastor, the latest salvo in a worsening rift between the NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... allies. In an interview with Rooters on Monday, Trump criticized Ankara over the detention of the evangelical Christian pastor, Andrew Brunson, and said he was not concerned that his tough stance against Turkey could end up hurting European and emerging market economies. Brunson, who is originally from North Carolina and has lived in Turkey for two decades, has been detained for 21 months on terrorism charges, which he denies. The pastor has become an unwitting flashpoint for the diplomatic tension, which has accelerated the crisis in the lira. Trump said that, after he helped persuade Israel to free a detained "I think they’re making a terrible mistake. There will be no concessions," Trump said. The lira weakened to 6.0925 against the US currency by 1111 GMT, from a close of 6.0865 on Monday, when Trade was thinner than usual and probably mainly offshore, with local markets closed for the holiday. The currency has lost 40 percent of its value against the dollar this year. However, there's more than one way to stuff a chicken... selling on Tuesday was limited due to a broadly weaker dollar. Devlet Bahceli, leader of a nationalist party allied with Erdogan’s AK Party, told news hounds: "We have no business with those who love Brunson more than us." PRAYERS AND GIFTS Erdogan, who had been expected to speak to news hounds after morning prayers, made no public statement. He has repeatedly cast the currency crisis as an attack on Turkey but has stopped short of singling out any one country. He prayed on Tuesday morning at a mosque near the tourist resort of Marmaris on the south coast and then handed out gifts to local children, the Milliyet newspaper reported. |
