Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan says plans for his visit to the United States are still pending, with no date confirmed yet on Friday.
Speaking to the press in Istanbul, he said the exact time when the Turkish side will pay a working visit to the U.S. is not yet determined.
“However, in the meantime, both my foreign minister (Hakan Fidan) and trade minister (Omer Bolat) may have meetings or travel plans related to the U.S.,” he added.
“These visits could include discussions on the recently raised issue of tax regulations,” he noted, expressing hope “to see the positive approach they are considering toward Türkiye turn into concrete action.”
On March 16, Erdogan and Trump spoke on the phone, and the Turkish president expressed his full confidence that Ankara and Washington will advance bilateral cooperation in the new era of relations through solidarity, a results-oriented approach, and sincerity.
