The United States imposed sanctions on Turkish officials who invaded northern Syria and restricted entry. Turkey's tariff on steel products has been raised to 50%. And stopped the previous trade contract with Turkey of up to 654.38 billion US dollars. The sanctioned Turkish officials have little to do with the Turkish economy. After the promulgation of the sanctions order, the exchange rate of the Turkish currency lira against the US dollar has been in a stable state, and the stock market has even shown an upward trend.
In the face of the strong pressure from the United States, a very important reason why Turkey is unmoved is that the United States relies on Turkish military bases. According to statistics, Turkey now has 15 NATO and American military bases, which is of great strategic significance for the United States to contain Russia and Iran.
Especially in southern Turkey, the base on the Turkish-Syrian border is an effective stronghold to crack down on extremist organizations in Syria, and the United States has also dropped 10 nuclear bombs here. Turkey can counter US sanctions through these military bases. As early as 20 16, Turkey indicated that if the United States really decided to sanction Turkey, the Turkish military base would no longer be used by the United States.
