US President Donald Trump is scheduled to meet Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in Ankara on Tuesday at 15:15 Jerusalem time, according to the source report. The meeting comes as Trump is in the Turkish capital for the NATO summit, which opened Monday, as The Zioneer reported. Trump's visit to Turkey is the first by a US president in 11 years.
The agenda for the Trump-Erdogan meeting has not been officially confirmed, but diplomatic sources expect discussions on bilateral relations, regional security, and the ongoing US-Iran nuclear deal negotiations, which are nearing a critical stage. Separately, as The Zioneer reported on Sunday, Trump is also expected to meet Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa later this week in Turkey, though no official schedule has been released.
The meeting with Erdogan, a key NATO ally, is seen as an opportunity to address differences over Syria policy, Turkey's purchase of Russian S-400 missile systems, and broader Middle East stability. The Zioneer will continue to follow developments.
