"My visit to the United States, we will appreciate this after negotiations are held with the American delegation who will come here," Erdogan quoted Anadolu.

On October 6, it was reported that Erdogan would visit Washington in November at the invitation of US leader Donald Trump.

Ankara later announced the start of the ground source military operation, Source of Peace, in northeastern Syria. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said that the Turkish side went to the military operation due to the fact that the United States refused to fulfill earlier promises.

Trump signed a decree imposing sanctions against Turkey in connection with this military operation.
