Brexit pushes economy into recession

Turkey's economy slides into recession - BBC News

Turkey went into recession at the end of last year, according to the country's official statistics office.

The Turkish Statistical Institute said the economy shrank by 2.4% in the fourth quarter of 2018, from the previous quarter.

It followed a 1.6% drop the previous quarter, making two quarters of falling growth - the definition of recession.

A trade war with the US sparked a steep fall in Turkey's currency, making imports far more expensive.

Experts also believe Brexit is a major factor in this steep decline

I wonder how many of the Brexit Brethren will accept Dim's quote at face value, and how many will bother to check and so find that:

isn't part of the article?

Of course their economy is in recession, 78 million of them have come to the UK as promised by BoJo.

A trade war with the USA?

What sort of actions spark trade wars? Something like letting imports in to your country tariff-free and with reduced checks, while not applying those same rules to other countries?
