(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump is hosting Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan at the White House to discuss trade and military deals.
On Truth Social, Trump said talks would include the purchase of Boeing aircraft and possible deals on F-16s and F-35s.
In his first term, Trump kicked Turkey out of a fighter jet deal after the country purchased an air defense system from Russia.
The visit will be Erdogan’s first trip to the White House since 2019. The two leaders forged what Trump has described as a “very good relationship” during his first White House go-around despite the U.S.-Turkey relationship often being complicated.
