Erdogan Anti-Trump Rant Vows to ‘Teach a Very Good Lesson’ to U.S. over Jerusalem

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan warned U.S. President Donald Trump that “the world will give a very good lesson to the United States” for its decision to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in an impassioned rant on Thursday.Erdogan’s speech, the latest in a series of incendiary addresses attacking the Trump administration for its Jerusalem decision, preceded a vote at the United Nations to defy the move.In addition to repeatedly attacking the president, Erdogan recently assembled an “emergency” meeting of the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation (OIC) to condemn the recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, despite the presence of Israel’s national government buildings and agencies in the city.Erdogan—who has permitted Islamic prayers at the historic Hagia Sophia basilica in Istanbul, called the use of birth control by Muslims “treason,” and repeatedly claimed that Muslims arrived in the Americas before Christopher Columbus—has taken on a growing leadership role in the global Islamic community.
