The IMF and NATO claim Erdogan from an American journalist

American journalist Seymour Hersh made a remarkable statement about President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s U-turn and the green light for Sweden’s NATO membership.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, in his article titled “Fear and disgust at Air Force One” on his blog, suggested making public the information that Turkey supported Sweden’s NATO membership in exchange for buying fighter jets. US F-16, but the actual situation was different.

“I was told a different secret story about Erdogan’s return,” Hersh said. “Biden promised Turkey a much-needed $11-13 billion loan from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). “Biden needed a win and Turkey is in serious financial stress,” an official with direct knowledge of the matter told me. he used the phrases.

In his article, Hersh also referred to an analysis written last month by Brad W. Setser, senior economist at the US think tank Council on Foreign Relations (CFR), in which he assessed the growing balance sheet risks of the Turkish economy.

In that analysis, Setser said: “Turkey is on the verge of depleting its usable foreign exchange reserves, and the country faces a choice between defaulting or applying the IMF program’s bitter prescription through policy change.”
