Trump Meets Turkey’s President: Discusses Russia, Ukraine, and Israel | EWTN News Nightly

About this sermon

President Donald Trump warmly welcomed Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to the Oval Office, describing their long-standing friendship and praising Erdoğan as a “highly respected man” who has built a “tremendous military” using a lot of American equipment. During the meeting, Trump expressed concern over Turkey’s continued economic ties with Russia. Since 2023, Turkey has purchased over $90 billion worth of Russian oil, coal, and natural gas. He urged Erdoğan to stop buying Russian oil while Russia continues its aggression against Ukraine. Earlier in the week, Trump met Erdoğan at the United Nations to discuss Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza. Erdoğan has been highly critical of Israel’s military actions, accusing Israeli forces of genocide. Ghaith Al-Omari, senior fellow at the Washington Institute, joins to share insight into Trump’s meeting with Turkey’s president. He also discusses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s suggestion to annex parts of the West Bank in response to Western countries recognizing a Palestinian state. Reports indicate President Trump opposes the annexation, sharing whether the annexation could stir Arab countries into action. ------------ EWTN News Nightly provides the latest news and analysis from a Catholic perspective.
