![Berat Albayrak, Turkey's Finance and Treasury Minister, son-in-law of President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, speaks about a " new economic model " in Istanbul, Friday, Aug. 10, 2018. Turkey was hit by a financial shockwave Friday as its currency nosedived on concerns about its economic policies and a dispute with the U.S., which President Donald Trump stoked further with a promise to double tariffs on the NATO ally. The lira hit a record low of 6.81 per dollar on Friday, before recovering to 6.51, tumbling more than 10 percent on the day.
