Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday held a video call with U.S. President Donald Trump, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman and Syria’s interim President Ahmed al‑Sharaa to discuss regional security, humanitarian aid routes and potential reconstruction projects.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan held a videoconference on Wednesday with U.S. President Donald Trump, Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, and Syria’s interim President Ahmed al‑Sharaa, state‑run Anadolu Agency reported. Statements released in Ankara, Riyadh, and Washington said the leaders reviewed regional security, Syria’s reconstruction prospects, and potential economic cooperation.
According to officials briefed on the call, the discussion began with an overview of the humanitarian situation in Gaza and northern Syria. Erdogan and bin Salman outlined proposals for coordinated aid corridors via Türkiye's Cilvegözü border gate and Saudi logistics centers on the Red Sea. A U.S. official said President Trump welcomed steps that could speed humanitarian deliveries.
The conversation then turned to Syria’s economic outlook. President Sharaa expressed interest in attracting foreign investment for infrastructure projects if international sanctions are eased. The White House said President Trump reiterated that any sanctions review would follow progress toward previously stated political and security benchmarks.
Crown Prince Mohammed provided details of a recently announced 600‑billion‑dollar strategic partnership between Saudi Arabia and the United States, noting that future projects could include ventures in Syria if conditions allow. Turkish officials highlighted Ankara’s plan for a road‑and‑rail corridor linking Iraqi and Syrian territory to Turkish Mediterranean ports.
Diplomats from the four capitals are expected to form a working group to develop confidence‑building measures, confirm humanitarian‑aid mechanisms, and evaluate financing options for reconstruction. Findings are due to be presented at a minister‑level meeting in Istanbul next month.
No timeline was set for further talks at the head‑of‑state level, but all sides described the videoconference as a useful step toward reducing tensions and exploring areas of mutual interest.
