After Phone call, Erdogan to meet Trump in US to discuss Syria 'safe zone': Turkish presidency

ISTANBUL (REUTERS) - Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. President Donald Trump discussed the planned "safe zone" east of the Euphrates River in Syria in a phone call on Sunday, the Turkish presidency said.

Erdogan expressed Turkey's unease with U.S. military and security bureaucracies not doing what is required by the agreement between the two countries, the presidency said, adding that the two men agreed to meet in Washington next month upon Trump's invitation.
