WASHINGTON (AA) - Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said Thursday that Ankara and Washington are going through a "different process" during the presidency of his US counterpart Donald Trump.

"We are experiencing a different process in Turkish-American relations, during both the first and second term of Mr. Trump," Erdogan said alongside Trump during an Oval Office visit.

Erdogan said he will discuss with Trump "in detail" the sales of F-16 and F-35 fighter jets to Türkiye as well as issues related to Turkish lender Halkbank.

"I also believe that we will overcome the problems in the region together, hand in hand," Erdogan said.
