Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan put US President Donald Trump’s letter “in the bin”, the BBC has been told.
In the letter dated 9 October and sent after US troops were pulled out of Syria, Trump told Mr Erdogan: “Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool!”
Turkish presidential sources told the BBC that the letter was “thoroughly rejected” by Erdogan.
On the day the letter was received, Turkey launched a cross-border offensive against Kurdish-led forces.
