U.S. Secret services wanted to pull protective detail for Erdogan after he gave order to attack demonstrators. HT: Washingtonhatti.
The Americans were aware that Erdogan gave the attack order during the incident. The US protocol and protection team, who were very upset about the incident, decided to pull protective detail from Erdogan.
After President Erdogan came to the residence by car and seemingly ordered the attack on the protesters, the American security forces informed the Embassy officials that they are going pull their protection. According to unnamed sources, this created a situation where President Erdogan would not have a protective Secret Service detail going to the airport.
The Embassy, according to our sources, managed to keep the US Secret Service Protection by pointing out that especially following the events, “Erdogan might become a target.”
US Secret Service did not comment WHatti‘s email request. Read the full story here.
