Trump admin updates: Trump at Charlie Kirk memorial service

Trump said in a social media post Friday he will meet with Turkish President Erdoğan at the White House on Thursday, Sept. 25, as they work on trade deals, including for Boeing aircraft and military jets.

Trump said he’s “always had a very good relationship” with Erdoğan.

This announcement comes just a few days after Trump conditioned his threat of secondary sanctions on Russia on NATO allies agreeing to forgo purchasing Russian oil. Turkey is one of the largest importers of Russian oil.

President Donald Trump, following a "very productive" phone call with Chinese President Xi, said in a social media post that he would meet with the Chinese leader at the APEC summit in South Korea that starts next month.

Trump added that he will travel to China "in the early part of next year." Trump said Xi would visit the U.S. himself "at an appropriate time."

The president did not announce major updates about a potential deal on TikTok, only saying the two "made progress" on that topic and others, including trade.

President Donald Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping have begun their phone call, a White House official told ABC News, during which TikTok is expected to be at the top of the agenda.

Trump said he would be speaking to Xi to firm up details on a deal for TikTok, after earlier this week extending the deadline until Dec. 16 for Beijing-based ByteDance to divest from TikTok or face a ban in the United States.

Trump said on Thursday that the new version of TikTok could be "owned by all American investors" and that the U.S. would be getting a "fee plus" for making the deal.

During an interview with Fox News’ Martha MacCallum recorded earlier Thursday at British Prime Minister Keir Starmer's country house Chequers, Trump said it’s “ideally” the role of a president to bring people together.

“Ideally,” Trump said. “I get this question so much.”

Trump said there was “tremendous” amounts of hatred across the country, which he thought started during former President Barack Obama’s term.

“When you see the kind of hatred out there, it is unbelievable. It has probably always been there and we don't realize it but I saw it starting with President Obama. I saw tremendous hatred but I saw levels that we've never seen before and with Biden, it got far worse,” he said.

Trump said that after the COVID pandemic further isolated people, his policies that brought “economic success” have brought people together.

“I would say that success brought people together. And I think the only thing that will bring them is economic success," Trump said.
