Turkish media heavily focused on the meeting between President Erdoğan and President Trump at the White House. Early reports noted a military exercise with Egypt aiming for Mediterranean peace, while Trump's views on legitimacy for Turkey also received attention. The actual meeting between Erdoğan and Trump began in the early afternoon, with discussions around CAATSA sanctions and the Syria crisis. Following the meeting, Trump lauded Erdoğan's role in solving the Syria crisis and both leaders described the talks as "great." Domestically, a new lawsuit against Selahattin Demirtaş and a professor's suspension for alleged bribery also made headlines, alongside reports of a forest fire in Burdur and Israel striking Yemen.
