Increasing Turkish-American Trade
The goal for America is 100 billion dollars a year. It is at 45 billion dollars at this time. America's biggest competitor in this race is Russia and it is making greater strides since 2002.
Since the disintegration of the Soviet Union, Russia established close ties with Türkiye. Simultaneously, America, under the reign of the three Globalist “stooges” turned its back to Türkiye. As a result, Russia today has a rapidly growing trade volume with Türkiye.
On the other hand, if it was not for Donald Trump, increasing Turkish-American trade was never going to be possible today.
IMPORTANCE OF TRADE WITH TÜRKİYE
Since the turn of the Millennia, trading with Türkiye became vitally important for many countries.
Two decades later, the country became the economic engine of the entire region, spreading the wealth in three continents.
In Africa, for example, 54 countries cherished the Win-Win approach of Türkiye. They nowadays see it as a hope to save them from the shackles of Colonialism. Trading with Türkiye also gives them hope against the “new colonial power” China.

Only Donald Trump Can Do
The idea of increasing Turkish American trade arrived with Donald J. Trump. The goal was set as 100 billion dollar a year. By then, Russian-Turkish trade was already over 30 billion dollars and rising fast. Turkish-American trade was nowhere near.
Before Trump
In 1992, when the first Globalist stooge arrived at the Oval Office, America was 26 percent of the global economy. When the third Globalist stooge turned the ropes to Donald Trump at the White House, America was only 15 percent, having lost 11 percent.
In the 24-year span, the three stooges killed morality, economy, and military for the US. As a result, in the international arena, there was no longer American hegemony. China, India, and Russia like rising powers of the East were there to fill the vacuum.
Türkiye, the longtime staunch ally in NATO, was left with no choice but to enter into strategic partnerships with these powers. By the time Trump came to power, Türkiye had long acquired what it could from the likes of China and Russia like technology, for example.
During Trump
When Trump came to power, he had no choice but to confront Türkiye for acting independently of the Western interests. Türkiye, in the meantime, had long decided to distance from the West during the reign of the “three stooges”. Playing the balancing act between the East and the West promised the best outcomes.
In the four years, Trump quickly understood America’s problem. It had a lot to do with Bill Clinton, George Bush (43), and Barack Obama administrations. Their misbehavior, miscalculation, and misguided policies were the backbreaking problem of America. Türkiye, on the other hand, was only seeking its national interest.
That is why, right before the Covid-19 strike, Trump came to the conclusion that increasing trade with Türkiye was the only way to win the staunch ally back. That is when the 100 billion dollar a year trade volume target was set. It was a copy-cat of the target Türkiye long set with Russia, nevertheless it sounded like a winning formula.
Increasing Turkish-American Trade
A Bump Called Globalist Joe biden
The 2020 election, rather, the occupation of White House by Joe Biden, put a damper on the Turkish-American trade. Blame, however, must be shared between the US Senators and the Joe Biden Administration.
Tally for Joe Biden
In 2021 and 2022, Türkiye embarrassed America in the NATO Summits. The inept Joe Biden Administration was pitiful. As a result, it should be no surprise how sacrificing Ukraine and Israel became inevitable to save face.
Meanwhile Türkiye, in 2023 and 2024 continued with its economic and military advances in full throttle. The Joe Biden Administration, now bogged down with two wars, was in the back view mirror of Türkiye.
Tally for the US Senate
In December 2020, President Donald J. Trump begged the US Senators, Republicans and Democrats alike. He was right. The US Senators should not have passed CAATSA-231 against Türkiye.
Four years later, Türkiye responded to America in kind. The result is now simple for everyone to digest. America lost one trillion-dollar aircraft business. Türkiye has a great prospect to make one trillion-dollar instead with KAAN.
