WASHINGTON
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Thursday departed from the White House after holding talks with his US counterpart Donald Trump.
After Trump greeted Erdogan at the door of the presidential residence, the two leaders held a bilateral Oval Office meeting followed by a working lunch.
"It was a great meeting," Trump told reporters as Erdogan left the White House. Their meeting lasted for two hours and 20 minutes.
Trump accompanied Erdogan to the door of the White House. Before leaving, Erdogan signed the White House official guest book.
After leaving the White House, Erdogan returned to Blair House, where he had stayed the previous night. There, he signed the guest book of the US president’s official guest residence and took a photo with the staff.
The Turkish president is now en route to Istanbul.
