WASHINGTON, 24 April, 2021 (TON): On Friday, the U.S. President Joe Biden spoke to the Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan, the White House said.
This is the direct communication between the leaders of the two NATO allies whose ties have been deeply unraveled.
“President Biden spoke today with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, conveying his interest in a constructive bilateral relationship with expanded areas of cooperation and effective management of disagreements,” the White House said in a statement.
The much anticipated phone call took place more than three months after Biden’s 20 January inauguration day.
However, this delay is widely seen as a cold shoulder to Erdogan, who had enjoyed close ties with former president Donald Trump.
