U.S. President Donald J. Trump spoke by phone today with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan for the first time since assuming the Presidency in January, during which they discussed ongoing peace negotiations to end the Russian invasion of Ukraine, for which Erdoğan stated he had been striving for peace since the full-scale invasion began in 2022. Erdoğan is said to have then pressed President Trump on lifting sanctions on Syria, claiming that it will allow a normalization which will see Syrians in Europe and across the world return to their country. Finally, President Erdoğan asked for sanctions imposed against Turkey under the Countering America's Adversaries Through Sanctions Act (CAATSA) to be lifted, which were implemented after Turkey purchased Russian-produced S-400 Air-Defense Systems in 2020, leading to their removal from the F-35 Program; Erdoğan is said to have asked President Trump to advance their purchase of 40 F-16 Block-70 Vipers, while also allowing them to rejoin the F-35 Program.
