Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan called on the country’s citizens to boycott French products as anger in the Muslim world intensified over French President Emmanuel Macron’s comments on Islam.
“I am calling on my nation, do not buy French products,” Erdoğan said in a televised speech at the presidential palace in Ankara on Monday.
Given that France is among the few countries which Turkey maintains a trade surplus with and the country’s exports to France total $7.9 billion while imports register at $6.8 billion it'll be interesting to see if Reggie's latest spat will have further detrimental effects on the value of the Turkish Lira.
