Trump: We have a very good relationship with President Erdoğan

U.S. President Donald Trump answered questions from the press at Joint Base Andrews Airport upon his return to Washington after attending a military graduation ceremony in the state of Connecticut. When asked about his phone conversation with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, Trump said, “We had a very good phone conversation with President Erdoğan. We have a very good relationship. He is a strong person, but I have a relationship with him that no one else has. I think he has been a very good ally. Some may doubt this, but I think he has been a great ally and his people respect him.”

'IF THE RIGHT ANSWER DOESN'T COME, THINGS WILL HAPPEN VERY QUICKLY'

Regarding developments with Iran, Trump said that the leaders they are currently dealing with are more 'rational' and 'reasonable' compared to former names. Trump stated, “If there is an agreement, we will save a lot of time, energy, and most importantly, lives. We must get the right answer from them, it must be completely 100% correct, otherwise things will progress very quickly. I must tell you that we are dealing with very good people. Talented and intelligent people. I hope they make a great deal that will be wonderful for everyone.”
