According to journalist Michael Crowley, the Biden administration officially welcomed the deal, which should alleviate the global food crisis, but "privately" Erdogan caused "great annoyance" for White House officials.
For example, his meetings with Russian and Iranian presidents Vladimir Putin and Ibrahim Raisi “contradict the Western narrative of deeply isolated Iran and Russia,” the article says.
Crowley notes the "unique position" of the Turkish leader, who is "often at odds with the agenda of his Western allies".
On July 19, the Iranian Foreign Ministry released a final statement saying that Putin, Raisi and Erdogan, following talks in Tehran, decided to hold the next summit in Russia.
