Erdogan, Trump Hold Phone Talks on Venezuela, Gaza Crisis
(MENAFN) Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Donald Trump engaged in direct phone discussions Monday, addressing a spectrum of bilateral concerns and international flashpoints.
The leaders exchanged perspectives on Türkiye-US diplomatic ties, defense industry collaboration opportunities, and pressing regional conflicts—with particular emphasis on Venezuela's escalating situation and ongoing Gaza Strip hostilities, according to a statement from the Turkish Communications Directorate.
In earlier remarks, Erdogan revealed he had communicated Ankara's critical concerns during the exchange with Trump.
"During the phone call with President Trump of the United States, we conveyed Türkiye's sensitivities to him. We underlined that Venezuela must not be dragged into instability," Erdogan declared following a Cabinet session.
"Türkiye and the Turkish nation will continue to stand by the friendly people of Venezuela in their pursuit of prosperity, peace, and development," he stated.
The conversation marks a significant diplomatic engagement between the two NATO allies, coming at a moment when Venezuela faces mounting internal pressures and Gaza remains mired in conflict. The defense industry cooperation discussion signals potential military-industrial partnership expansion between Washington and Ankara, while Erdogan's explicit warnings about Venezuelan stability underscore Turkey's positioning as a vocal advocate for the Maduro government amid international isolation.
