Türkiye Removes Certain Tariffs on US Imports Ahead of Erdoğan - Trump Meeting

On Monday, Türkiye announced the removal of retaliatory tariffs it had imposed in 2018 on various U.S. imports, including passenger cars and fruit, signaling a thaw in bilateral relations just days before President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan meets U.S. President Donald Trump.

Erdoğan is due to attend the United Nations General Assembly in New York this week ahead of a meeting at the White House on Thursday with Trump, who said he expected trade and military deals to be sealed during the visit, The Caspian Post reports citing Turkish media.

The cancellation of the tariffs, which, when they were introduced, had covered products including passenger cars, fruit, rice, tobacco, alcoholic beverages, solid fuels and chemical products, was announced in Türkiye's Official Gazette.
