Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan spoke by phone with President Donald Trump on Saturday, Nov. 7, 2026, discussing bilateral ties as well as regional and global developments, according to a statement from Türkiye's Directorate of Communications.
Erdoğan said he believes cooperation between Türkiye and the United States will keep growing and that the two sides will work to add momentum to the relationship in the period ahead.

Calling for an end to the tension between Iran and the United States, Erdoğan said the problems should be resolved through diplomacy and stressed that Türkiye will continue its efforts for peace.
On the war between Russia and Ukraine, Erdoğan said he hoped the intensifying diplomatic efforts to end the conflict would succeed. He added that Türkiye will keep contributing to that work and that expanding contacts with both Kyiv and Moscow is important.
Erdoğan also thanked Trump for his support for the summit of the Organization of Turkic States.
The call came on the same day U.S. Central Command announced a new task force to stop Iran from moving weapons and sanctioned goods across its land borders and the Caspian Sea, expanding a naval blockade in place since July.
