US President Donald Trump will pay an official visit to Türkiye on July 7 at the invitation of President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Turkish Communications Director Burhanettin Duran said Monday. In a statement on the Turkish social media platform NSosyal, Duran said that Erdoğan and Trump will hold talks in Ankara on bilateral relations between the "two close allies and strategic partners."
The discussions will review Türkiye-US relations "in all dimensions, including defense, trade and investment," and address steps that could be taken to deepen existing cooperation, Duran said. The two leaders are also expected to exchange views on regional and global developments. The meeting comes as Trump has threatened to reduce the US role in NATO and accused allies of disloyalty for not supporting the US-Israeli war on Iran, but has maintained cordial ties with Erdoğan, calling him a "friend" and a "great leader".
