Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan extended congratulations to Donald Trump on Wednesday for his victory in the U.S. presidential election.
"I congratulate my friend Donald Trump, who won the presidential election in the U.S. after a great struggle and was reelected," Erdogan said in a post on social media platform X. His message came as Trump neared the required 270 Electoral College votes, holding a lead with 267.
Erdogan expressed optimism for a "new era" of strengthened relations between Türkiye and the United States, citing the potential for collaboration on regional and global challenges, including the conflict in Palestine and the Russia-Ukraine war.
"I believe that more efforts will be made for a fairer world. I hope the elections will be auspicious for the friendly and allied people of the U.S. and all humanity," Erdogan added.
The Turkish president’s remarks reflect hopes for greater cooperation and diplomatic efforts to resolve ongoing international conflicts, alongside reinforcing ties with the U.S. (ILKHA)
