Both Putin and Zelensky respect Erdogan. Everybody respects Erdogan. I really respect Erdogan.

He can have a big influence on Ukraine war if he wants to, but he prefers being neutral.

Russia spent millions on bombs, missiles and lives. They have gained virtually no land.

I think Erdogan is responsible for the success in Syria.

Trump on Syria:

That was a victory for Türkiye. They had been fighting for like a 1,000 years.

Trump:

The right is a lot tougher than the left. But the right is not doing this. They better not get them energized.

That will not be good for the left. I don't want to see that either.

Trump on Turkish President Erdogan:

He knows Putin like I know Putin.

Trump on Turkish President Erdogan:

President Erdogan is the one responsible for Syria for the for the successful fight in ridding Syria of its past leader. He doesn’t take the responsibility.

I think you should take the credit for it. I told him take the credit for 2,000 years.

You’ve been trying to take over Syria. He took over Syria, and he doesn’t want to take the credits.

Trump on Syria:

I think we should have a major announcement today.

NATO and the EU, through Ukraine, have declared war on Russia and are directly participating in it.

We had a great meeting the other day. I think we are close to getting some kind of a deal.
