BBC: Turkish president ‘threw Trump letter in bin’
The letter told Mr Erdogan not to be “a fool” by launching a military offensive in northern Syria.
Many people questioned whether the letter that popped up yesterday purportedly from Donald Trump to Turkey’s president was real. Turns out it was real, but Erdogan treated it like a piece of trash.
#Turkey President's office confirms to @bbcturkce that when President #Erdogan received #Trump's letter, he "thoroughly rejected it, threw it in the bin" and launched the #Syria operation the same day. His mind was already made up to move in; letter was reportedly the final straw pic.twitter.com/pHaiyF5skG
