The minister emphasized that Turkey is among the countries least affected by U.S. trade policy but insists on the complete removal of the tariffs. Ankara plans to increase exports to the U.S. in sectors such as textiles, ready-made clothing, and machinery, aiming to develop mutually beneficial cooperation.
