Trump posted today: "I am pleased to host Turkish President Erdogan at the White House on September 25. We are working with the President on multiple trade and military agreements, including a large purchase of Boeing aircraft, an important F-16 transaction, and continuing negotiations on the F-35, which we expect will yield positive results. President Erdogan and I have always maintained a very good relationship. I look forward to meeting him on the 25th!"
Comments: This post by Trump is a microcosm of the interaction between U.S.-Turkey relations in economic, military, and diplomatic aspects. On one hand, he deeply binds high-level meetings with Boeing orders and fighter jet transactions, highlighting the dual considerations of U.S. diplomacy towards domestic industrial interests and military cooperation, attempting to strengthen bilateral ties through cooperative achievements; on the other hand, repeatedly emphasizing the good relationship is both a diplomatic rhetoric statement and paves the political atmosphere for subsequent agreement progress. At the same time, such messages involving large-scale transactions also subtly imply the political propaganda intention of showcasing foreign and economic "achievements" domestically, reflecting the dual logic of interest-driven and image-building in U.S. diplomacy.
