Speaking to Milliyet, Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan responded to the question “Will there be any change in Turkey-US relations in the Trump era?” “Our president and TRUMP know each other” Minister Fidan said, “Turkish-American relations have a long history. There is already a high-level dialog between the two countries based on allied relations, regardless of who is in power. The strategic mechanism, which was established to address issues between Turkey and the US, will of course continue its work in the new period. Our President and US President Trump already know each other. “I THINK THE NEW ADMINISTRATION IS READY” The sincerity was clearly reflected in the phone call between the two leaders immediately after the election. Our strategic dialog with the US will naturally continue in the new era. The issues on our agenda need to be addressed in a cooperative, constructive and holistic manner. We are ready for this. I think the new administration is also ready for this.”
