President-elect Donald Trump praised Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, describing him as a "very smart guy" and someone he "got along with great." Trump highlighted that Erdogan has built a "very strong, powerful army" that has "not been worn out with war." He stated that Turkey is behind the overthrow of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad's government, referring to it as an "unfriendly takeover" by Turkey.
