President Trump has authorized the doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs on Turkey amid heated tensions over detainment of an American pastor.

The president announced the move on Twitter Friday, saying turkey’s currency is rapidly declining against the U.S. dollar.

He added, America’s current relationship with Turkey is on a downward spiral.

This comes as the Trump administration plans to slap a 20-percent tariff on aluminum and a 50-percent tariff on steel.

The increase in tariffs is considered a blow to the value of Turkey’s lira, which reportedly fell further after the president’s announcement.
