Trump-Erdogan meeting: F-35s, Russian gas and an Israel headache

An upcoming meeting between US President Donald Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is set to address converging geopolitical interests, particularly regarding Syria. The Trump administration's vision of delegating responsibility to regional allies aligns with Turkey's goals, leading to US pressure on the Kurdish-led SDF to integrate into the Syrian army. Despite this alignment, significant obstacles remain in the bilateral relationship. These challenges include Israeli military actions in Syria, Turkey's energy relationship with Russia, and potential opposition from the US Congress.
