In a bid to mend fences between Turkey and the United States, President Tayyip Erdogan extended an invitation to President-elect Donald Trump, hoping for a personal visit that could bolster diplomatic ties.

During a phone call described by Erdogan as 'sincere,' Trump reportedly spoke positively about Turkey, raising hopes for smoother relations. Erdogan emphasized that a visit from Trump could help navigate past economic and political strains, including tariffs and disputes over foreign policies.
