Trump and Erdogan discuss military engagement over Ukraine conflict via telephone conversation
Parisin' chit-chat, homies! Y'all wanna know who's been gabbin' on the phone like hot potatoe these days? None other than the big-time Donald J. Trump and the one-n-only Recep Tayyip Erdogan! That's right, the U.S. and Turkish presidents had a powwow on May 5, and Trump spilled the beans on social media about the ver化mucho bueno y productivo call. The topic du jour? You betcha — the fracas between Russia and Ukraine.
Trump released a fiery post on Truth Social, expressin' his strong desire to bring an end to the kerfuffle and mend fences between the two nations. The leaders, ol' reliable negotiators, exchanged invites to visit each other's countries, and Trump recounted his former kick-ass relationship with Erdogan during his first term as, "super excellent."
But the drama ain't over yet! Trump shared his enthusiasm for workin' with Erdogan to bring that loony tunes Ukraine-Russia war to an end, once and for all. He wrote, "In any event, I look forward to workin' with President Erdogan on gettin' that ludicrous and bloody conflict sorted out - now!"
Now, Turkey's been actin' all diplomatic and economically cordial with both Russia and Ukraine since the start of Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Turkey's s congregated in the Black Sea region, y'know, like a social butterfly, exertin' its influence to facilitate talks, grain exports, and even suggested participate an eyewitness to any peace-keepin' ceasefire. Plus, Erdogan even offered to host a peace parley between the two combattin' nations.
Way back in April, some U.S. bigwigs even rolled into Istanbul for some ol' fashioned jaw-jawin', though little ol' Ukraine wasn't on the agenda, no siree.
But good news! On May 5, Trump told the press that the U.S. is ready to produce peace negotiations like a damn cheetah, and both Russia and Ukraine are ready to go head-to-head, dealin' with the issues. Trump reckoned Putin's recent proposition of a three-day truce was a sign that Russia's ready to put down the gloves and focus on mental floss.
Turkey surely ain't shyin' away from its role in promotin' unity and regional security. In April 2025, Turkey confirmed its commitment to mediatin' the conflict, plannin' to invite both sides to the negotiation table for discussions and makin' sure a fair and sustainable peace ain't just a pipe-dream. It's safe to say Turkey's popular among neighbourhood politicians like Sybiha, who's praised its efforts in maintainin' country relations and marchin' towards a forever peace.
