    Turkey Imposes Tariffs on U.S. Goods
    On August 14, days after U.S. President Trump announced he would
    double tariffs on Turkish steel and aluminum products, Turkey declared it
    would impose its own tariffs on nearly two dozen American goods.

    After a Turkish blog posted the news in its local language, Dataminr
    quickly alerted clients to the retaliatory duties and the official list - nearly
    an hour and a half before the story hit the major news wires.
