Erdogan and Trump Discuss Ukraine War in Phone Call

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Donald Trump held a phone call to discuss bilateral relations, the war in Ukraine, and tensions between Washington and Tehran. Erdogan expressed hope that intensified diplomatic efforts to end the war would yield positive results, pledging Turkey's continued involvement and stressing the need for stronger engagement with both Ukraine and Russia. He also said the Iran-US confrontation should end with disputes resolved diplomatically. The call came ahead of trilateral Ukraine-US-Russia talks in Abu Dhabi on November 10-11, with Turkey actively contributing to peace efforts.
