During the meeting, Republican members of Congress pressed Erdogan over his position on obtaining Russia's S-400 missile defense system and over Turkey’s conflicts with the Kurds. “We’re having a very strong discussion on different things, including the safe zone and the border, the oil and again trade is a very big factor,” Trump said.
Sen. Rick Scott, of Florida, said his goal for the White House meeting is to be “in a better position, we’re better allies where we understand what’s going to happen with the S-400s so Turkey is in the direction of the United States and not heading in the direction of Russia.”
