Turkey's President Eager to Hear Trump's Policies on Mideast
TEHRAN (Tasnim) - Turkey's president said he is interested in hearing US President Donald Trump's policies on the Middle East.
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan told reporters before departing on an African tour on Sunday that Turkey wants a Mideast where countries' territorial integrity is upheld and the region is not "shattered."
Erdogan said efforts are underway to set a date for a possible meeting between him and Trump. He said he would bring up the situation in the Middle East during their first meeting, AP reported.
Erdogan said that as the "most powerful" country in the region as well as an "arbiter," Turkey is most concerned with how the new president will affect US Middle East policy.
