[WASHINGTON] US President Donald Trump said on Wednesday he was a "big fan" of his visiting Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan, despite opposition from many in Congress to the red-carpet welcome.
"Turkey, as everyone knows, is a great Nato ally and a strategic partner of the United States," Mr Trump said at the start of a joint press conference.
"I'm a big fan of the president."
