Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan is scheduled to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in New York next week during the United Nations General Assembly, as confirmed by U.S. Ambassador to Ankara Tom Barrack. This meeting is anticipated to address pressing bilateral and regional issues, although specific agenda details remain undisclosed.
This upcoming engagement follows their last encounter at the NATO summit in Ankara in July, where the leaders concentrated on the alliance’s future and regional security challenges. The discussions in New York offer another chance to reinforce the strengthening ties between Washington and Ankara observed during Trump’s second term.
Erdoğan’s visit to New York marks a continuation of diplomatic interactions, as he last met with Trump in September 2025 during a visit to the White House, his first in six years. These meetings reflect an ongoing dialogue and collaboration on international matters of mutual interest.
The talks will coincide with the high-level week of the 81st United Nations General Assembly, which runs from September 22 to September 28. World leaders are expected to deliberate on significant global security and humanitarian issues, including conflicts in Gaza and Ukraine, as well as developments in Iran, Sudan, Myanmar, Haiti, and Cyprus.
