US President Donald Trump has dismissed the possibility of a conflict between Turkiye and Israel.

“He’s a very good friend of mine and we’ve worked very well together, I like him a lot,” Trump says of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

He adds that he has not heard of the possibility of conflict between Ankara and Tel Aviv and that if he did, “I’d call him and I think I’d make sure things were fine.

“I don’t think that will happen with Turkiye, not as long as I’m president,” Trump says.
