Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan returns to the White House after 4 years to meet with Donald Trump, showing a connection based on their vision of the global order and disdain for liberal hegemony. Both leaders seek to highlight short-term victories, such as the purchase of Boeing planes and Trump’s possible support for Turkey’s return to the F-35 program. They seek to expand trade and align on foreign policy, despite challenges such as the conflict with Israel and the dispute over the S-400 missiles.
