ANKARA: Turkey exports to the US have been constantly increasing for the last five years. Turkey’s market share in the U.S. at least increased 12 percent and broke through the $6 billion barrier for the first time.
İbrahim Uyar, Executive Director of a D.C.-based business association, MUSIAD USA, said that the inclusion of Turkey in the Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership would increase exports to the U.S. and help to create a more balanced trade in favor of Turkey.
Uyar himself is a Turkish-American businessman, owning a successful Maryland-based firm “NT Recycling,” and has been living in D.C. for more than seven years.
He is one of a small group of professionals who can see both the political and business dimensions of Turkish-American trade relations.
