Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and US President Donald Trump spoke over the phone late Tuesday for the first time since Trump took office last month.
In a statement, the White House said that President Trump reiterated US support to Turkey as a strategic partner and a NATO ally, and welcomed Turkey's contributions to the counter-ISIS campaign.
The statement added that the two countries enjoy a "close, long-standing relationship" and they have a "shared commitment to combating terrorism in all its forms".
The Turkish presidency corroborated the emphasis on counter-terrorism cooperation and on the two nations' "well-established ties as friends and allies".
