Trump set to pay his first visit to Türkiye on July 7
U.S. President Donald Trump will pay his first visit to Türkiye on July 7 and 8 on the margins of the NATO summit, where he will hold comprehensive talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on bilateral defense and security ties as well as ending the armed conflicts in the region.
Trump is expected to arrive in Ankara on July 7 and visit Anıtkabir, the mausoleum of modern Türkiye founder Mustafa Kemal Atatürk, as the first venue. Then he will head to the presidential compound to meet Erdoğan.
The two leaders are expected to hold a press conference after the meetings and later join other allies at the summit. Trump will leave Ankara on July 8.
This will be Trump’s first visit to Türkiye in his capacity as the president of the United States. The latest presidential visit to Türkiye from Washington was in 2015 when former President Barack Obama represented his country at the G20 summit in Antalya.
