“Our president held a phone conversation with U.S. President Trump. Bilateral and regional topics were discussed in the conversation,” presidential spokesperson Ibrahim Kalin said in a written statement.
Both leaders agreed to continue collaboration for common strategic goals and resolve issues that negatively affect bilateral relations said Kalin in a statement later on March 22, Hurriyet daily reported.
“The importance of strengthening relations between the two NATO allies and strategic partners was discussed,” said the spokesperson.
