Should Ankara be optimistic about relations with Trump?
Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu has expressed optimism about improved US-Turkish relations during a Trump administration.
While much of the world remains unsure about US President-elect Donald Trump’s views on major foreign policy issues, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu suggests that he is in the know. Not only that: Also unlike most other observers, Cavusoglu apparently foresaw Trump’s electoral victory.
In a Dec. 5 interview in the pro-government English-language Daily Sabah, Cavusoglu conveyed the general optimism felt by the Turkish leadership that Trump’s presidency will lead to a new and positive chapter in what have been increasingly acrimonious relations with the United States.
