Britain’s May due in Turkey for talks with Erdogan

ANKARA, Turkey (AP)28 January 2017 — British Prime Minister Theresa May, who met with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, arrived in Turkey on Saturday for a meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan — another important but complicated British ally.

May flew overnight to Ankara by RAF Voyager jet from the U.S., where she and Trump hailed a new chapter in the trans-Atlantic “special relationship.”

May’s talks in Ankara with Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yildirim will focus on boosting trade between Turkey and Britain once the U.K. leaves the European Union and on increasing cooperation over security and counterterrorism.

May and Turkish leaders are expected to discuss the conflict in Syria and efforts to reunite Cyprus
