Turkish President Invites Trump, ‘Nothing Definite’ Planned - WH
Local Editor
Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan invited American counterpart Donald Trump to visit Turkey in 2019 following a visit by US military officials this week.
“Our president invited honorable Trump to visit Turkey. He responded that he might come in 2019,” Erdogan’s spokesman Ibrahim Kalin told reporters in Ankara on Monday.
However, White House spokesman Hogan Gidley said in a statement that they had received the invitation; noting, however, that it was too early to speak of any plans.
“While nothing definite is being planned, the President is open to a potential meeting in the future,” he said.
Trump and Erdogan held a phone call earlier on Sunday to coordinate their efforts at preventing an ‘authority vacuum from developing as the United States withdraws from Syria.’
