Turkey and the US are discussing a possible meeting between Presidents Joe Biden and Recep Tayyip Erdogan this month. Among the topics of their negotiations are the war in Ukraine, relations between the Turkish and Russian sides, and the conflict in Syria.

 This is reported by Reuters.

 According to the publication citing a high-ranking Turkish official, Erdogan may visit Washington this month.

 A discussion between the leaders of the situation in Syria is also not excluded, because the two countries have different interests in Washington's support for the Syrian Kurds - US allies in the fight against the Islamic State in northeastern Syria, which Ankara considers a terrorist group.

 A Turkish official also told Reuters that it is possible that relations between Turkey and Greece, which have led to chronically tense relations in the Eastern Mediterranean, will also be discussed.

 It is noted that Biden and Erdogan last met in late June on the sidelines of the NATO summit in Madrid, where Turkey overturned its veto on Finland and Sweden joining the alliance, despite fierce opposition to their membership from Russia.

 So, at the end of this summit, Biden said that the United States supports the sale of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey and he is confident that the congressional approval necessary for the sale can be obtained.

 "After the last meeting with Biden, the US administration took steps as we demanded on some important issues, such as the F-16. I think there will be similar things," a high-ranking Turkish official told the newspaper. in the U.S. have soured over the past few years after Ankara purchased Russian-made defense missile systems, prompting sanctions from Washington and Turkey's exclusion from the F-35 fighter jet program.

 After that, the White House said that the US does not see any signs that the agreement on the export of Ukrainian grain brokered by the UN is collapsing.
