President Barack Obama met with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Friday in Newport, Wales, in Britain where both leaders were attending the NATO Summit, National Security Council spokeswoman Caitlin Hayden said.
"They exchanged views on how best to cooperate in the struggle against ISIL (the Islamic State of Iraq and the Levant) and violent extremism in Iraq and Syria, and on the need for strengthened measures against foreign fighters transiting to and from the battlefield," Hayden said in a statement released at the White House.
They discussed "the urgent need for effective pressure and diplomacy aimed at bringing to an end the conflicts in Ukraine and Libya," she said.
The two also discussed the importance of building tolerant and inclusive societies and combating anti-Semitism, she said.
