Discussion on Turkey and International Relations

As a Turk myself, I can tell you with great confidence that your presence in Ankara is

eagerly anticipated.

What's your message to your great friend, Erdogan, and the Turkish people?

Because you're going to be there in less than two weeks.

Are you from Turkey?

Yeah, I'm a Turk myself.

I like him.

He's a friend of mine.

He stayed out of the war.

You know, he was a prime candidate to go into the war with Iran, maybe on the Iran side,

because he's not a big fan of Israel, as you know.

And I asked him to stay out.

He stayed out.

And you know who else was great?

It was President Xi of China.

He could have come in.

He gets half of his oil from that area.

You know, I could see him wanting to, and I asked him to please stay out, and he did.
