Trump plans to host Erdogan at the White House next week
In a recent post on his Truth Social platform, US President Donald Trump announced that he will host Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the White House next week. The meeting, set for Thursday in Washington, D.C., will mark the first time the two leaders have met since 2019.
The announcement comes amidst ongoing tensions between the US and Turkey. Despite this, the discussions between the two leaders are expected to focus on trade and military agreements. One of the key topics on the table is a significant deal for the purchase of Boeing aircraft, as well as a potential agreement for F-16 fighter jets. Ongoing negotiations about F-35 jets are also on the table, with a positive conclusion expected.
President Trump emphasized his good relationship with President Erdogan in his post, expressing his anticipation to welcome Erdogan. However, the post did not mention whether efforts to end the Russian war against Ukraine would be discussed at the meeting.
It is worth noting that this meeting is not the first time President Trump has cooperated with President Erdogan. During his first term, he received Erdogan at the White House. Turkey, a NATO member, maintains good relations with both Russia and Ukraine, which may influence the discussions.
The exact details of the discussions are not yet known, but the meeting comes amidst ongoing tensions between the US and Turkey. The meeting is scheduled for Thursday, with the exact date and location remaining undisclosed in President Trump's post.
The meeting comes as the US and Turkey continue to negotiate on several military and trade agreements, including the purchase of Boeing airplanes and agreements to buy F-16 fighter jets, as well as ongoing negotiations about F-35 jets. These talks aim to strengthen their bilateral relations and military cooperation.
This development is significant as it indicates a potential thaw in relations between the US and Turkey, two key players in the geopolitical landscape. More details are expected to emerge in the coming days as the meeting approaches.
