President Recep Tayyip Erdogan declared his recent trip to the United States "very, very successful" on Monday, dismissing opposition criticism of his visit to New York for the United Nations General Assembly, APA reports citing Türkiye Today.
Speaking to reporters following a Cabinet meeting, Erdogan said his discussions with U.S. President Donald Trump were productive and that "we will see the positive results in the coming days."
The Turkish leader said he and Trump discussed reaching a $100 billion bilateral trade target during their meeting. The two presidents also addressed the Gaza crisis, the Russia-Ukraine war, regional developments and maintaining stability in Syria, according to Erdogan.
"The reason the opposition is trying to discredit our U.S. visit in a state of hysteria is because the visit was extraordinarily successful," Erdogan said.
