Revival of a bromance? Trump hosts Erdogan at the White House
Update: 2025-09-29
Description
Turkish President Erdogan finally made his way back into the White House last week, meeting with President Trump as issues like the F-35s, the lifting of CAATSA sanctions, and Turkey’s purchase of Russian oil topped the list. Alan Makovsky, a senior fellow for the Center for American Progress and an expert on Turkey and US foreign policy, joins Thanos Davelis as we break down whether we’re seeing the revival of a bromance between the two leaders, and look at what this means for key issues like the sale of F-35s.
