White House

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's meeting with Donald Trump was expected to be "either in the format of a full stop or a comma" in terms of the allies' future ties, as Erdoğan put it. Yet the meeting seems to be a full stop in Trump's career rather than bilateral relations!

US President Donald Trump recently received Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to the White House, where the two leaders discussed a number of matters, including the fight against ISIS terrorist in Syria and Iraq. President Trump is not known for picking up on foreign names. This time was no exception as he repeatedly mispronounced Mr. Erdogan’s name during the joint press conference.

The Trump administration on May 18 launched a 90-day countdown to renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement, part of its aggressive stance towards trade that it charges has hurt U.S. workers.

While President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan was answering reporters' questions before his visit to the U.S., he said, "Now we will hold this meeting with President Donald Trump at a very top level. Our talks will not be at a comma level; they will be at a full stop level." 

One of President Tayyip Erdoğan's most important aims in his first official meeting in the White House with U.S. President Donald Trump was to dissuade him from his decision to arm the PYD/YPG and conduct a joint operation with them to seize Raqqa, despite the fact that PYD/YPG is very openly an arm of the outlawed Kurdistan Workers' Party (PKK). 

Viewed from outside, the White House meeting between U.S. President Donald Trump and President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on May 16 took place under the shadow of perhaps one of the most severe crises of recent times in Turkey-U.S. relations. 

A man who appeared intoxicated drove his car the wrong way up a Times Square street on May 18 and plowed into pedestrians on the sidewalk, killing one and injuring about 20 others, authorities and witnesses said. The driver was taken into custody and being tested for alcohol.

Michael Flynn and other advisers to Donald Trump's campaign were in contact with Russian officials and others with Kremlin ties in at least 18 calls and emails during the last seven months of the 2016 presidential race, current and former U.S. officials familiar with the exchanges told Reuters.

Calls are growing for President Trump to “clean house” at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, after a series of leaks aimed at embarrassing and undermining the president sprung from the White House this week.

An American pastor who was arrested in Turkey last year and whose release has been demanded by U.S. President Donald Trump is accused of delivering special sermons to the Kurdish people and having links to the movement of U.S.-based Islamic preacher Fethullah Gülen.
