Turkey's Erdogan: hopes sanctions, Halkbank issues to be resolved after Trump talks
ANKARA, Oct 8 (Reuters) - President Tayyip Erdogan said he hoped U.S. sanctions on Turkey could be lifted and that issues can be resolved regarding its purchase of F-35 jets and a legal case against Turkey's Halkbank HALKB.IS in the wake of his talks with President Donald Trump.
"I hope the F-35 issue will be resolved and CAATSA sanctions will be lifted," Erdogan said in comments to reporters on a flight back from Azerbaijan, adding that his visit to the White House last month marked a new era in U.S. ties.
According to a transcript of his remarks shared by his office on Wednesday, Erdogan also said Trump had told him "the Halkbank problem is finished", but there are certain procedures that need to be completed and Erdogan hoped they will be done positively.
