当地时间16日，一封美国总统特朗普此前写给土耳其总统埃尔多安的信被多家美媒曝光。
特朗普在信中说“别充硬汉，不要犯傻!”提醒埃尔多安“不要让世界失望”，还出言警告，“你不想为屠杀成千上万人负责，我也不想为摧毁土耳其经济负责”。
白宫6日宣布从叙利亚撤军并表示美国对土耳其即将进入叙北部展开的军事行动“不支持、不参与”，美军会撤出相关区域。土耳其军队10月9日开始进入叙利亚北部，对库尔德武装展开军事行动，同一天特朗普总统致信土耳其总统埃尔多安，警告他不要做“硬汉”。
“You don’t want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people, and I don’t want to be responsible for destroying the Turkish economy – and I will,” he wrote.
他写道：“你不想为屠杀成千上万的人负责，我也不想为破坏土耳其经济负责——(但)我还是会的。”
“History will look upon you favorably if you get this done the right and humane way,” Trump continued. “It will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don’t happen.”
特朗普继续说：“如果你以正确和人道的方式解决这件事，历史会对你有利。”“如果不发生好事，它会把你永远视为魔鬼。”
“Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool!” he finished, adding: “I will call you later.”
“别做个硬汉。别傻了！”他说完，又说：“我稍后再打给你。”

这封信的措辞，延续了特朗普一贯的外交风格。很多网友认为，简直是一个笑话。
The letter’s tone, which some criticized as being unstatesmanlike for official diplomatic correspondence, led some to believe that it was satire published by The Onion, but the White House later confirmed that the letter is real, according to several media reports.
据多家媒体报道，这封信的语调被一些人批评，认为作为官方外交信函不够文雅。一些人甚至认为这是The Onion （洋葱新闻，一个美国新闻讽刺网站）发表的讽刺文章，但白宫后来证实这封信是真的。

一些相关人士认为：
“Having helped draft a few presidential letters to foreign leaders, I want you to know that this is not what they normally look like. Embarrassing,” tweeted Kelly Magsamen, a former state department official under both Barack Obama and George W. Bush.
“在帮助起草了几封总统给外国领导人的信之后，我想让你们知道，通常的信不是这个样子的。这令人尴尬，”前美国国务院官员凯利·马格萨门在推特上说，她曾在奥巴马和布什任内任职。
“Felt the need to ask WH if this is actually real and it is,” tweeted Katie Rogers, a White House correspondent at the New York Times.
《纽约时报》驻白宫记者凯蒂·罗杰斯在推特上说，“我觉得有必要问这到底是真是假。”
普通网友也觉得，这简直是小学生的文笔：
Is this real? Written by a third grader?
这是真的吗？还是一个三年级学生写出来的？
Today I learned that my drunk late night text are more sophisticated that United States foreign policy
今天才知道，我酒后说的胡话都比美国外交政策老道。
