and the united states stand side by side to fully eliminate dasch and once and for all. turkey remains or it should be the most reliable partner of the united states in this region to achieve these targets. we are the only nato ally as turkey who has fought dasch in a very resolved fashion and so far we have detained 7684 foreign fighters and sent them back to their countries of origin and entry to 77,000 individuals who are considered to be affiliated with dasch terrorist organization and right now in our prisons, a total of 1,216 dasch members are incarcerated coming from 40 different countries. we have quite recently detained 287 individuals including women and children who have fled the prisons that pkk and wpg used to control-- ypg used to control. our country is being showcased as the target and terrorist organization cost 304 turkey citizens to die and against which we are going to keep on fighting. and it's very important to understand that the foreign fighters should be accepted by the countries of origin and we have the same understanding with president trump in order

permanently our we are working together on this united states. turkey is the one ally that united states can trust to establish this go. we are the only nato ally that is fighting against the chest to chest and losing. servicemen. about 707-7000 people are banned to enter our country who are found out that they have relationship with. we have. we have 1216 prisoners die of prisoners in turkey at the moment. there are. 187 people that were captured by us some of them are women and children. that has caused. many many attacks in turkey we have lost $300.00 of our civilians and we are going to be are going to continue to fight against. of course it's very important that. the members should be accepted by their original countries that we are working on trying to persuade. the countries who are the or original nations of the members and we are working on it with mr mr president trump. 9 years ago when the conflict started in syria. we are the country who has been most affected we are currently hosting 3000003500000 syrians in our countries all of them are ar

turkey has the second largest armed forces in nato after the united states. and they're very strong second, i might add. i am pleased that turkey has been steadily increasing the defense spending. it is very close to the 2% of gdp range, unlike many of the other countries. at this moment they're eight out of 28 countries current in terms of their obligation financially. turkey has made a vital contribution to nato's resolute support and mission in afghanistan and its partnership was important to our destructionion of the isis caliphate, a fact recently when we took out al-baghdadi and take him out we did. turkey knew that we were going over certain areas. they were very, very helpful. we appreciate that very much. good for both countries. we appreciate it. we're grateful to president erdogan and residents of turkey and their cooperation. in the constant struggle with terrorism. he fights like it we do. key is our military defense and quilt program. american foreign military sales total many billions of dollars and turkey supplies component parts to many americ

who in which these congressmen state that these moves cause a disruption cause a conflict a huge conflict inside nato itself so the conflict between turkey and the united states is a bigger one bigger than just the support of the bigger than the s 400 it's turkey's move away from the atlantic alliance. and now the timing of this 2 hour meeting is quite interesting because it comes what before said you'll score between a do and buy them a putin do you think that would have been a big concern for the u.s. and how might this impact now on both talks with the u.s. and russia. of course it's a big concern as they tried to mentioned in your question before exactly this is the fact what worries the americans most that the president of turkey 1st visits the united states and after that. has a phone call with the president of russia putting this phone called. once again the alliance between turkey and russia he reflects the fact that the evaluation of these images is a joint action between turkey and russia and this is exactly the source of the problem seen from the american side and it's a very positive step to inform turkey's allies to inform president putin

for thevery good news united states and also very good news for turkey. is a great nato ally as everyone knows and a strategic partner of the united states, and around the world. . our economic relationship has tremendous potential. and continues to expand and grow. it is essential to ensuring a future of peace and prosperity. and promise for our citizens. over the course of the day, president erdogan and i had a frank and productive conversation on a range of important topics. among those topics we discussed was the situation in syria. last month, i sent vice president pence, secretary of state pompeo was with us, national security advisor o'brien, thank you, to meet with president erdogan in the hopes of ending all of the hostilities, the negotiations were very successful. and the united states and turkey achieved a tremendous amount on that day. i think we are working toward getting it better and better. it is a complicated situation going on for hundreds of years. today, the cease-fire continues to hold and i want to thank the president for his partner

purchase of the russian s 14 missile system which angered the united states over the summer and led to the united states you know pulling turkey out of their f. $35.00 program and also there was some positive news from the united states and turkey over a trade deal that they were hoping to reach which they said was moving along and the right direction and pablo as we mentioned the president facing heavy criticism for his syria policy did this meeting between the 2 leaders do anything to smooth over things at home in the u.s. . well you know there were some senators several senators 5 republicans who were there who were present and they basically wanted to make sure that some of the issues that had been brought up. from here from the united states or displeasure out of the one on turkey's handling in syria and also their displeasure out at president trump's handling of the situation referring to of course the fact that as president trump was criticized for essentially abandoning long standing as kurdish allies in northern syria and in the region in fact at once again we were left a little bit the will did when donald trump that

turkey would like to see that and it would be good for the united states. we intend to bring it up to $100 billion. that would be four times what it is right now. our goal is to expand commerce between the united states and turkey, reduce our trade deficit, and ensure a truly reciprocal relationship. we are, for those of you that have any interest, we discussed it today, our trade agreement with china is moving along very rapidly. we will see what happens. it is moving along rapidly. china wants to make a deal. one of my chief priorities as president has been removing the barriers to american trade and investment and ending the illicit practices that harm our workers. we encourage turkey to open its markets and they are doing that. they are doing that. very much. toward american goods and services, our markets are open, turkey is opening up their markets rapidly. weeks,ave seen in recent the u.s. turkish alliance could be a powerful force for security and stability. not only in the middle east but beyond. i look forward to working with you and with your repr

turkey has the second largest arms forces in nato after the united states. they are very strong second, i might add good i'm pleased that turkey has been steadily increasing its defense spending and is very close to the 2% of gdp range, unlike many of the other countries. at this appointment, there are e current in terms of their obligation financially. turkey has made a vital contribution to nato's resolute support mission in afghanistan and its partnership was important to our destruction of the isis -- recently, when we took out al-baghdadi, and take them out, we did. turkey knew that we were going over certain areas that were very, very helpful. we appreciate that very much. good for both countries but we really appreciate it. we are grateful to president erdogan and the citizens of turkey for their cooperation. and the constant struggle against terrorism, he fights it like we do. they key to our security, collaboration is our trade defense and military equipment program. american foreign military sales to the turkey total many billions of dollars. and tu

meeting between trump and everyone and the main points of contention sure now we know both the united states and turkeyhave major sticking points when it comes to the kurds syria military hardware and the arms trade as well as relations with russia now the united states has long maintained that it is able to have a relationship with both the kurds and with turkey however that balancing act hasn't always worked out so well you can look back on the letter that was sent by u.s. president donald trump to era one that said quote don't be a tough guy don't be a fool when urging him not to attack kurdish positions within syria now at this point the meeting today that letter was returned to tromp from the turkish president perhaps meaning that he paid no attention to that letter now another point of pretty solid disagreement has been turkey's decision to purchase s. 400 missile system the s 400 missile system from russia and trump has maintained that this is simply unacceptable it is not acceptable for a nato member country to get closer to russia and when trump spoke he basically said that this issue has not

united states. of course included will be turkey's operation into northern syria, something that has pretty much united lawmakers from both sides of the aisle with their opposition to turkey's moves. some of theish issues that the united states will be discussing are the rising concerns when it comes to the behavior of turkey's -- the syrian backed forces that have been backed by syria on the ground, their behavior, alleged war crimes that could have possibly taken place at the beginning of the that military offensive and earths to reach a permanent cease-fire. another critical issue for the united states is that russian missile defense system that the turkey and nato member acquired this summer. we had the deliveries from russia back in july. and so the united states, the trump administration really is under a lot of pressure to sanction turkey as he's obliged by the law, and there's been this push by lawmakers to do so. and so far the feeling has been that president trump has been shielding turkey from the sanctions. so this is going to be on the table today. whether the united states, president trum

edouard's response to the quoted turkey was not like it's by many liberals in europe and the united states in fact some questioned whether which would have been better to have a coup d'etat or to have a populist leaders who are becoming more and more authoritative was going to a very strange and striking dilemma because it shouldn't this shouldn't be a dilemma do i as an elected president he was basically attacked by generals in a could overcome that of course he created some what some would call that a pursuit of measures within turkey but that certainly created the 2nd attacks on him far more than any other leader that the nazis did with thank you very much indeed as ever. and that's it for me the moment i'll be back in a few minutes with more analysis of impeachment and of course the news conference from the white house to join us then minute now. how the wind has swung around now in some cases that helps with the fires some cases it doesn't queens in the worst affected more recently this should be a general trend to lower the wind speed now but there's nothing in the sky in the case an

how is turkey perceiving the united states under the president. hat do his supporters think of this country? >> according to them, behind every problem that turkey is to experience as the united and the cia. because of the cia, the united states it is not an ally. it is an enemy. >> we remember the year 2017 before the turkish constitution rec room on trent referendum that resulted in him consolidating powers, he went to countries like germany. even austria to try to course the support of these exits in these countries. what about here in the united states. does president consider the turks living here in this country to be a crowd that he should appeal to? >> american turks are not that fond of him. as the majority. that is the reason a special priority to reach out to the american turks see her in the united states. >> how is he doing that? >> through his influence operation and through different mosques. so far, among the turks. amongst muslims. >> after president trump welcoming to the white house, the day after he will also welcome the secreta

received turkey but how should turkey receive the united states on her president erdogan, what do his supporters think of this country? >> so, according to them behind every illness, every problem that turkey will experience is that united states and the cia. the cia carried out the coup so the united states is not a friend or ally but an enemy which is in the surveys. >> we remember how in the year 2017 before the turkish constitution referendum that eventually resulted in president erdogan consolidating power he went to countries like germany that was uncontroversial and even austria to get the support of turkish exits in these countries so what here in the united states -- does he consider the turks living here in this country to be a crowd he should appeal to? >> the american turks are not fond of him and the majority so that is the reason he has priority to reach out to the turks living here in the united states. >> how is he doing at? >> with the operations we see and through the imams but so far he is not but [inaudible] >> after president trump will welcome president erdogan t

the senate will take this -- take the united states out of this vicious cycle which happened as a result of the resolution of the house of representatives. turkey and the united states stand side by side in order to fully eradicate daesh and in order to bring peace and stability to syria once and for all, and for this purpose we should keep on working together. turkey remains or it should be the most reliable partner of the united states in this region to achieve these targets. we are the only nato ally as turkey who has fought daesh in a very resolved fashion, and until so far we have detained 7,680 foreign fighters and sent them back to their foreign countries of origin. and we have given entry to 77,000 individuals who are 1,116 daesh members are incarcerated coming from 40 different countries. we have quite recently detained 287 individuals, including women and children who have fled the prisons that pkk and ypg used to control. our country is being showcased as a target and this terrorist organization caused 304 turkish citizens to die and against which we are going to keep on fighting, and it's very important to understand that the foreig

united states. so what is this? this is a huge mosque built on which the funds provided by turkey, the turkish state, over $110 million, ten miles from washington, d.c. in maryland. what we increasingly see, these kind of mosques in the united states and around the world as being front organizations to reach out to not only turkish diaspora in those countries, and also the muslim communities to establish connections. under normal circumstances, it was a nonpolitical organization trying to serve all muslims and turks but increasingly we see it becoming front of the political islam and the political tool for president erdogan. around the world what we see is a lot of different mosques and the office is working in those mosques paid by the state of turkey, essentially from the turkish state, carrying out spying operations against the opposition of president erdogan. in fact, because they are turkish officials the intelligence has a powerful leverage against them to force them despite even if they do not want. for these people it is impossible to say no, not only because if they say no, they are going to lose their jobs.

called a good relationship with turkey and also he stressed the fact that they were hoping to reach a potential 100000000000 dollar trade deal between the united states and turkey yeah that's right there was a lot of questioning about whether or not a deal could be reached this visit we've got these tensions within nato. either way you look at it this is a win for air to want to get the invitation to go to the white males are we seeing relations then improving between turkey and the you were. well you know just outside the white house in fact there was a protest taking place from kurdish americans who of course. president out of the visit to washington back in 2017 very fresh in their mind we can't forget that there were some quite scenes guy against kurdish protesters. turkish security forces back on that visit and also it's interesting to see how president trump has been stressing this friendship and saying that they've been very friendly essentially since day one also interesting lee which i'm sure didn't go down too well with president ever the one was that president also talked about the good relationship that he maintains with the kurds despite

repatriated start sending back i is detainees to their home countries in europe and the united states saying turkey is not a hotel pool for noticed what kind of reception awaits them back home also coming up the violence escalates in hong kong after police shoot a protester the city's leader insists the government will not yield to pressure from the streets and warns.

declared that the alliance is not dying despite widespread dismay at the recent actions of the united states and turkey in northern syria mr stone sober and went on to reject the notion that the us was turning its back on that european allies but said that more german financial support was necessary. so does europe have the wherewithal to act as a strategic world power as president mccall suggests teri schultz is a d w correspondent a nato specialist he can't possibly think that europe can completely defend itself at the moment that's just not possible in any way not logistically there's not enough equipment there's not enough cord nation there's not enough trust so what mcluhan is saying that that europe needs to go off on its own is something we talk about all the time in brussels all the time it nato and it's not realistic and that's what secretary-general stolzenberg and even tenser miracle pointed out everybody believes that europe should do more to defend itself and that's why the discussion about germany equipping its own troops better recurs constantly but there isn't any way that nato will wou

absolutely now both turkey and the united states have some major points of disagreement when it comes to the issue of syria the kurds the arms trade and relations with russia but the world is wondering if the united states will be able to continue and to basically reach a point of agreement with its nato allies and now folks will recall how the united states has long maintained that it can have a good relationship with both the kurds and turkey but that's a balancing act that hasn't always gone so well folks will recall the letter that donald trump wrote to president era want of turkey after the offensive was launched against the kurds in syria. for you don't want to be responsible for slaughtering thousands of people and then don't want to be responsible for destroying the turkish economy and i will don't be a tough guy don't be a fool i will call you later now another pretty strong point of disagreement is the s $400.00 missile system now essentially the turkish leader is is you know in the process of purchasing this missile system that the united states says that that's simply unac

russian surface to air missile system very very nice question very nice question turkey has already requested from the united states in order to buy pat's missile system because turkey has a soft spot of air defense systems but including united states. the european union countries not all of them provided to south turkey a defiance myside system and mr trump in did you just pass on at the meeting clear to state that that turkey requested to buy dead the patent messiah system but he didn't provide so they want day event and bought the s $400.00 systems in order to . in order to close the gap in the air defense system and focus clearly says to the french and italy all saw ok are ready to cooperate to produce and right to buy their franchise and american missile systems if they provide it to turkey or it to see you shaking your head a lot that should nato be helping turkey in its fight against what it sees as terrorists in northern syria but the others within nato regard as allies i mean how does nato square that circle. well turkey has never asked for nato's help in syria but i think the answer you've just heard make

on corrupt start sending back i is detainees to their home countries in europe and the united states saying turkey is not a hotel pool for noticed what kind of reception awaits them back home also coming up the violence escalates in hong kong after police shoot a protester the city's leader insists the government will not yield to pressure from the street and warns protesters that hong kong is on the brink of no return plus a political paralysis spain's socialist celebrate their victory but sunday's election fails to break a long running political stalemate prime minister credible sanchez's party fall short of a majority and faces a strong challenge from the far right. thank you so much for your company everyone turkey has begun sending suspected so-called islamic state supporters captured in syria back to their countries of origin the turkish interior ministry says a us citizen was the 1st to be deported berlin has confirmed that it expects several german nationals to arrive later this week turkey recently criticized its western allies for refer. using to take back their citizens and warned that

and turkey is among the top five contributors of nato. position withour the united states under the roof of nato is quite different. believe london will be quite busy. president trump: we will have a big meeting on data very soon. i think i can say it because other people feel the way, the president was disappointed in the statement made by france having to do with commitment and nato. it was a big statement made a couple days ago by france and i think it bothered the president very much and i don't think he was very happy about it. a lot of other people feel that way. >> it is unacceptable. that is a nicely of saying it. president trump: do you guys have any questions? ani have never had opportunity like this before. i appreciate it. to purpose of the meeting is have questions for our friends in turkey. >> regarding the remarks and , ince from president macron think the comments were ill-advised and should be rethought. today we are going to have a discussion about common interests and disagreements we have to find common ground to get this resolved. obviously nato is the

he but it could be many times larger and turkey would like to see that and it would also be good for the united states so we intend to bring it up to about $100000000000.00 that would be 4 times what it is right now. our goal is to expand commerce between the united states and turkey reduce our trade deficit and ensure a truly fair and research the relationship thank you. ok so you heard it there $100000000000.00 which he says is 4 times what it is now it's not quite true but one of the things we want to look at was what does the u.s. trade with turkey and vice versa $12800.00 trade with turkey was actually just a little over $10000000000.00 and take a look at this of the top 10 imports from turkey into the u.s. number one carpets and woven floor coverings that motor vehicles gasoline jewelry antiques and actually granite and marble rounded out the top to in the top exports from the u.s. to turkey include civilian aircraft parts scrap iron and steel cotton plastics sugar starch residues and of course whenever the president talks about a trade relationship he always goes back to military spending the p
