Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is working to secure a meeting with Donald Trump at the White House, possibly toward the end of April, according to Turkish officials familiar with the matter.
Erdogan sees the strengthening of a strategic partnership between Ankara and Washington as critical for regional stability as Turkey looks to become a prominent power broker on issues from Ukraine to Syria, said the people, who asked not to be identified discussing private deliberations. The role of the country as NATO linchpin is particularly important while the US reviews its commitment to Europe, they said.
