Atatürk and John F. Kennedy are the best leaders both countries ever had, on first thought the World ever had. Turkey and US have been allies since the beggining of times;)

“Peace at home, Peace in the world!”

So when Erdogan speaks NBC cut the speech

In December 2015, Trump stated in a radio interview that he had a "conflict of interest" in dealing with Turkey because of his property, saying "I have a little conflict of interest, because I have a major, major building in Istanbul ... It’s called Trump Towers. Two towers, instead of one. Not the usual one, it’s two. And I’ve gotten to know Turkey very well."[6][7]

In August 2018, Aytun Ciray, general secretary of the Iyi Party, a major opposition party in Turkey, called on the government of President Erdogan to "seize the Trump Towers” in protest the Trump Administration's declaration of sanctions on Turkey’s ministers of justice and the interior.[8]

1:31:48 a year ago, Trump called a Kurdish journalist for Mr. Kurd, and as he asked a question to Trump regarding the US partnership with the Kurds, President Trump answered and praised the Kurds saying "we've lost tens of thousands of Kurds died fighting Isis" and "they died fighting for us, with us, and for themselves" Trump said about Kurds that "they are great people" and admired them, but unfortunately Mr. Trump backstabbed the Kurds allowing the Turks to massacre those brave Kurdish soldiers who were the key force of defeating Isis. Many civilians have been killed in the attack. The Kurdish journalist appears 1 year later, and it sends a clear signal that "you betrayed us" it is also a reminder for Trump to make him understand that he betrayed the Kurds. He cleared the way for Turkey to invade Rojava, which gave Turkey a green light to let Turkish troops commit ethnic cleansing on the Kurds with the use of chemical weapons such as white phosphorus.

[jodievukmir]

Anyone else notice when the interpretor was interpreting the "perfect letter" re response we couldn't understand it he was talking over Erdogan

[H.K-tm]

I as a Turk. Love the human being. I love the US. and i love the Kurds as a human being. I hope we solve all our ideological differences as soon as possible and cal each other brothers once and for ever. Loves to everyone who reads this message.

Ok just gonna say this: WTF is the president of a democratic nation doing telling the reporter who's chosen to ask Erdogan a question, that he wants a friendly reporter/question? Then afterwards asking her if she's sure she doesn't work for the Turkish government because of the question she asked. Somewhere close to 26:30

[edwardb]

I can't believe any political or diplomatic advisor told Trump it was a good idea to invite Erdogan.

[amessagefortheworlds]

26:00 he did not answer the question so it meant affirmative.

[spacianse]

Hi Turkey. Since in trying times, we are glad you're here. We hope to work with you in trade economy today and in the future. Thank you. And, see you again.

Really funny when he order the troops to leave his former allies and then forgets about the oil and returns to protect the oil. Did he forgot about that there was oil there ?

Trump is a big fan of Erdoğan, so true

[lawsonc]

What is wrong with the press core, simple questions, fact checking. Ask the right questions, you have no honor just worried about your jobs.Shame

0:12 its ERGO O -DAN not Air do win not erehwon which is nowhere spelled backwards [ a phrase originally coined by a guru for a health food company title

[joycebuttons]

All the progress we had made in the middle east. Up in smoke. Thanks to Trump.

Turkey is a nutjob. Cyprus is Greek and not Turkey. Plus: Hagia Sophia will always be Hagia Sophia. And Israel will always be Israel. Turkey is no Ally to Europe. Turkey invaded Europe and Cyprus and murdered a lot of people. Never forget that.
