Turkey will boycott U.S. electronic products - Erdogan

President Tayyip Erdogan on Tuesday said Turkey would boycott electronic products from the United States.

The U.S. has imposed sanctions and raised tariffs against Ankara in a dispute about the detention of a U.S. evangelical pastor.

Erdogan said Turkey has been taking necessary measures regarding the economy, amid a slide in the lira currency exacerbated by the dispute with Washington, but it was important to keep a firm political stance. Switching to foreign currency would mean giving in to the enemy, Erdogan said.
