US President Donald Trump has accepted an invitation by his Turkish counterpart, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to visit the country, according to a spokesperson for Turkey’s leader.
Speaking to reporters after a cabinet meeting on Monday in the Turkish capital, Ankara, Ibrahim Kalin said Trump wants to make the trip in 2019 but no date has been set.
The White House confirmed the invitation for Trump to visit next year, adding: “While nothing definite is being planned, the president is open to a potential meeting in the future.”
Trump had hosted Erdogan at the White House in May last year.
