• Trump welcomed Erdogan to the White House in the first visit by the Turkish leader to Washington since 2019.
• Trump signaled a possible end to the U.S. halt on F‑35 sales imposed after Turkey’s 2019 S‑400 purchase, yet no agreement was announced.
• The agenda included a potential Boeing aircraft order for Turkish Airlines and further steps on Turkey’s F‑16 fleet, according to Trump’s earlier statements.
• Ukraine and Gaza featured prominently, with Ankara touting mediation roles and the U.S. pressing partners, including Turkey, to cut Russian energy revenues.
• Turkey’s opposition alleged the White House visit was secured by a large Boeing order, a claim Erdogan rejected as Turkish Airlines said negotiations continue without a decision.
