Erdogan: Meeting with Joe Biden at the White House postponed – Newsbomb – News

In postponing his planned trip to Washington and his visit to the White House, the Turkish president proceeded, Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

According to the American network Bloomberg, Erdogan will not meet the American president Joe Biden on May 9, as it had become known.

Meanwhile, an official familiar with the matter said the decision to postpone was made due to changes in Erdogan’s schedule. He also stated that the new date of the visit will be discussed with his counterparts.

However, in the previous days the Turkish Presidency he kept a fishy silence for Tayyip Erdoğan’s trip to the USA and while rumors about the cancellation of the meeting had already “flared up”.

There is no Biden-Erdogan meeting on the schedule

There is no specific visit by the American president in his schedule Erdogan, White House National Security spokesman John Kirby told accredited reporters. “There is nothing in the program to talk about in terms of a specific visit by President Erdogan. So, I have no comment on that,” he said.

At the same time, he sent the message to Erdogan about his meeting with the leader of Hamas. “Again, I will let President Erdogan speak in the meetings he has. We have been very clear about our position on Hamas and who they are and what they stand for. I’ll leave it at that,” he said.

“Fire” Erdogan at Biden: “Instead of unfairly accusing Turkey, he should look at Gaza”

The reason for the postponement of the meeting from Turkey’s side may have been Joe Biden’s recent statements about the Armenian Genocide.

The Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan gave his answer to the American president’s statements, when the news broke about the non-performance of the meeting between the two leaders.

Specifically, in his post on X, the Turkish president states:

“Instead of repeating baseless accusations against Turkey based on the events of 1915, the US government should look at Gaza, see Israel’s genocidal attempts in Gaza and try to prevent it.

The step taken in this direction in the Security Council last week was blocked by the veto of the United States.

With this decision, America ignored the will not only of the Palestinian people but also of the other member states of the Security Council. The US government is not contributing to the solution with its unconditional military and diplomatic support for Israel, but is making the problem even bigger. While 35 thousand people were brutally murdered in Gaza, the US Senate’s approval of the $25 billion military aid package to Israel is the clearest indication of this.”.
