US chargé d'affaires in Ankara Alice Abdullah said that the friendship between Türkiye and the United States is very strong and that the relationship between President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and US President Donald Trump is exceptionally positive.

During her visit to Hatay, Abdullah inspected work at the Antakya Greek Orthodox Church, which was destroyed in the February 6, 2023 earthquakes and whose reconstruction the United States has supported.

Describing the relationship between Erdoğan and Trump as a model for other relations between countries, Abdullah said that, as the US diplomatic mission in Türkiye, they were making intensive efforts to ensure that this positive relationship extended to all areas of their work.
