Turkey has issued a travel warning to its citizens who are thinking about traveling to the U.S. in response to a wave of demonstrations in large cities protesting the election of Donald Trump to be the 45th president.

In a statement posted to the Foreign Ministry’s website Saturday, the Turkish government warned, “Sometimes the protests turn violent and criminal while protesters (are) detained by security forces” and that “racists and xenophobic incidents increased in USA.”
