(Bloomberg) -- President Donald Trump said he spoke with Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday and that the Turkish president will visit the White House next week.
Trump withdrew U.S. forces from a Syria region on Turkey's border last month, clearing the way for an offensive by Turkish forces against U.S.-allied Kurds. The withdrawal followed a previous call with the Turkish leader, and drew condemnation from both parties in Congress.
Trump said Erdogan will visit on Nov. 13.
