In an official statement issued by the White House on the afternoon of October 14, local time, President Trump said he would soon sign an executive order imposing sanctions on current and former Turkish government officials and others involved in Turkish military operations in northeastern Syria. In addition, the United States will raise Turkey's steel tariff to 50%, return to the level before the tax cut in May, and immediately stop negotiations with Turkey on a $100 billion trade agreement.
Trump said in a statement that the United States and its partners had "recovered 100 percent of the land from extremist groups." He said he had "clearly told Turkish President Erdogan" that Turkey's actions were triggering a humanitarian crisis that might meet the conditions for war crimes. "Unfortunately, Turkey does not seem to have reduced the humanitarian crisis in its aggression."
Earlier in the day, US media reported that the sanctions against Turkey could come into effect as early as that day. It was said that the US State Department and the Treasury Department had been working on a list of sanctions over the weekend.
