Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan has said that a new era is beginning in the United States as Republican Donald Trump becomes U.S. President.
“I hope the people's choice brings benefit for basic rights and freedoms in the world,” said Erdoğan, in his speech at Turkey's Independent Industrialists and Businessmen
Association (MÜSİAD) EXPO and 20th International Business Forum Congress in Istanbul.
Erdoğan urged the European Union (EU) to make its final decision on Turkey's membership application quickly, as the bloc criticizes Turkey for its recent fight against terrorism.
"They say the negotiations should be reviewed. It's too late now. Review it as soon as possible and make your final decision" Erdoğan said.
