Trump plans to host Turkish President Erdogan at the White House next week
The White House has announced that former US President Donald Trump will be hosting his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, next week in Washington, D.C. This will mark the first face-to-face meeting between the two leaders since 2019.
The location of the meeting was not previously known, but it will take place in the nation's capital. Trump expressed his anticipation to welcome Erdogan, and he emphasized that he and President Erdogan have always had a good relationship.
One of the key topics on the agenda will be the potential purchase of Boeing aircraft by Turkey. This trade agreement is under discussion, along with the sale of F-16 fighter jets. Ongoing negotiations about the possible acquisition of F-35 fighter jets are also part of the negotiations.
A positive conclusion is expected for the F-35 fighter jet discussions, but the exact details of the trade and military agreements are not specified in the announcement. It is not clear if efforts to end the Russian war against Ukraine will be discussed at the meeting.
