The
United States will do its "very best" to keep
Turkey in NATO, the US national security advisor said Sunday ahead of a
White House visit by President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Erdogan's scheduled meeting Wednesday with President
Donald Trump comes amid fraying relations between the two allies, aggravated by its recent offensive against US Kurdish allies in Syria.
Robert O'Brien, Trump's new national security advisor, suggested in an interview with CBS's "Face the Nation" that keeping Turkey in NATO was of overriding importance to the administration.
