Erdogan and Trump discuss ending Ukraine war; Turkey pledges support

Turkish and US presidents discussed bilateral relations, Russia's war in Ukraine, and Washington-Tehran tensions by phone, with Ankara pledging continued support for peace efforts. Erdogan expressed hope that intensified diplomacy will yield positive results and stressed the importance of engaging both Ukraine and Russia. He also urged resolving Iran-US confrontation through diplomatic means and thanked Trump for supporting the Organization of Turkic States summit. Turkey has actively contributed to peace efforts, including proposing Black Sea security ideas with India at the G20, focusing on restoring grain shipments. The call preceded trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, where Kyiv prioritizes security guarantees.
