Mr. Trump was referring to his plan to pull US forces out of Syria, where they have been fighting alongside a Kurdish militia against the Islamic State (IS) group.
Turkey regards the Kurdish group as terrorists.
The US president's comments drew a sharp response from Turkey, which said Mr. Trump would not get anywhere by threatening the country economically.
After Mr. Trump's tweet, the Turkish lira dropped in value against the US dollar.
It then recovered its value, suggesting that his remarks had limited impact.
So how could the US damage Turkey economically - if it wanted to?
