US official denies scheduled visit for Turkish President Erdogan to the United States

The statement follows earlier reports indicating Erdogan's expected visit on May 9, upon an invitation from US President Joe Biden.

Speculation surrounding Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's anticipated visit to the United States on May 9 has been met with denial from US National Security Council Strategic Communications Coordinator John Kirby. While reports suggested Erdogan's visit, Kirby stated that “there is nothing scheduled for President Erdogan’s visit," casting doubt on the previously planned event.

Despite claims circulating about the cancellation of Erdogan's visit, no official statement has been issued by Turkish government, further adding to the uncertainty surrounding the matter.

Kirby's remarks were made during his visit to New York alongside US President Joe Biden, underscoring the absence of any concrete plans for Erdogan's visit to the US.

The status of Turkish President Erdogan's anticipated visit to the United States remains uncertain, with the US National Security Council refuting claims of a scheduled visit. As speculation persists, the absence of an official statement from Ankara adds to the ambiguity surrounding Erdogan's plans to travel to the US. (ILKHA)
