Turkey's President, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has decided to postpone his tentative visit to the White House, according to sources familiar with the matter. The visit, which was scheduled to take place in the near future, has been delayed for unspecified reasons.
The decision to postpone the visit comes amidst growing tensions between Turkey and the United States over various issues, including Turkey's military offensive in northern Syria and its purchase of Russian S-400 missile defense systems.
President Erdogan's visit to the White House was seen as an opportunity to address these contentious issues and strengthen the relationship between the two countries. However, with the visit now postponed, it remains unclear when the meeting will take place.
The White House has not yet commented on the postponement of Erdogan's visit, and it is unclear whether a new date has been set for the meeting. Both Turkey and the United States have been working to improve their relations in recent months, but disagreements over key issues continue to strain the partnership.
President Erdogan's decision to delay his visit to the White House is likely to further complicate efforts to resolve the ongoing disputes between the two countries. It remains to be seen how this development will impact future diplomatic efforts and the overall relationship between Turkey and the United States.
