[HIGHLIGHTS] President Erdogan will be received at the White House on May 9

President Erdogan will be received at the White House on May 9. This will be the first meeting in the Oval Office between the two presidents.

Relations between Washington and Ankara recently clarified after Turkey, a NATO member, approved the entry of Finland and then Sweden into the Atlantic Alliance. In the process, President Biden in January and then the American Congress in February “approved” the sale of American F-16 fighter planes to Turkey, putting an end to months of negotiations between D.C. and Ankara.
