[Erdogan Seeks Meeting with Trump During World Cup] Sources familiar with the matter revealed that Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is attempting to arrange a meeting with US President Donald Trump next month, possibly around the time of Turkey's World Cup match against the United States in Los Angeles. This potential meeting would be scheduled less than two weeks before the NATO summit hosted by Turkey in Ankara, amid growing signs that Washington is planning to scale back its role in supporting the military alliance in Europe. Sources indicated that a meeting with Trump would allow the two leaders to discuss bilateral and regional relations, as well as their respective countries' roles in the future development of NATO, ahead of the summit scheduled for July 7-8.
