Is Türkiye seeking Trump’s power?

According to the international group Tasnim news agency, these days about the development of Erdogan’s government relations And the Biden administration, there are many buts and ifs. Because Joe Biden’s four-year term is coming to an end, but he is still not willing to host Erdogan in the White House. This is despite the fact that the former presidents, George Bush Jr., Barack Obama and Donald Trump, had met Erdogan in Washington, and among them, Bush and Obama also traveled to Turkey. 

In November of this year (December 1403), the American people will go to the polls to clarify the duties of the presidency for the next 4 years. Now, in the context of the US presidential election, Erdogan’s government is evaluating the future relations between Ankara and Washington.

Some media reports show that Erdogan’s team intends to Once again put all the eggs in Donald Trump’s basket and open a special account on his victory. It has even been revealed that a dangerous political-security figure close to Trump plans to open the communication channel between Trump and Erdogan once again right now and before the election.

Mrs. Jansu Chamli Bell, one of the famous Turkish journalists and from In a detailed report, the analysts of the Analytical News Base (T24) discussed how Erdogan’s administration views the political competition in the United States and what mistakes have been made along the way. Let’s review together:

Turkey and the dreaded man of Trump’s team, Turkey should be careful
these days In many media outlets in Washington and New York, Richard Grenell’s name has once again come up, and reporters say that if Trump becomes president, Grenell will be the helm of the State Department, and Blinken’s seat will reach him.

The New York Times also confirmed this news and everyone believes that this 58-year-old man of few words will grow in the Trump administration. He has previously been the US ambassador in Berlin, the head of the US Secret Service, a senior official of the National Intelligence Service and one of the main managers of the US Mission in the United Nations.

Grenell is known as a person who has many special and secret files. has managed Donald Trump. According to Chumley Bell, in the past months he tried to open a safe channel between Erdogan and Trump once again. 

In Chumley Bell’s report, it is pointed out that two politicians suffered more than others in the recent battle between Israel and Palestine: Joe Biden and Tayyip Erdogan.

Damage and consequences of Netanyahu’s adventures It is clear for Biden. But in the case of Erdogan, it has been said that after the heavy defeat of his party in the municipal elections, in the face of massive public protests, he was forced to stop doing business with the Zionist regime, and this action brought significant political and economic costs to the Erdogan government.

Now, one of Joe Biden’s important problems is that after the massive crimes of the Israeli regime in Gaza and the West Bank, in addition to not being able to bring all the Democrats to the polls easily, with protests There is also a student and Erdogan’s team has come to the conclusion that in this situation, Biden’s defeat is certain and they should hope for Trump’s victory. 

The reports that reached the Beştepe presidential palace in Ankara contain information from Erdogan’s advisers who say that Donald J. Trump is leading by 2-3 points in most polls, and he has led not only in the May polls, but in every poll for eight consecutive months.

According to Turkish journalist Çumli Bel, It has been reported to the Americans that Erdogan’s team pays special attention to the possibility of Trump’s victory, and even one of the advisers said: “Now that Biden is going to lose, there is no need for the president of Turkey to take a picture with him.” This is the same word and the cancellation of the planned meeting between Biden and Erdogan in the White House!

Erdogan’s advice on Trump’s
One of Erdoğan’s recommendations to Turkish diplomats living in America is to focus on the difference between the political approach of Biden and Trump regarding the issue of Palestine and Israel. Erdogan believes that Trump has an internal view and, like Biden, will not raise the flag of surrender against Netanyahu’s pressure, and if this golden-haired old man returns to the White House once again, Israel will not be able to easily continue its crimes.

Why did Turkey go after Richard Grenell? Donald Trump has lost several effective weapons and tools, the most important of which are: a) Previously, Erdoğan’s son-in-law Brat Albayrak met with Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and they could easily and without getting involved in the process. institutional and ministerial, to advance the relationship. But now, both grooms have disappeared from the scene. Albayrak is angry with Erdoğan and Kushner has not appeared at the moment. b) Mehmet Ali Yalçin Dağ, son-in-law of famous Turkish financier Aydin Doğan, headed the Turkish-American Economic Cooperation Council for a while in Washington and Erdogan had opened a special account on his lobby. But now this one son-in-law is not in the scene and has gone to Germany. 

C) Ekim Altkin, the head of the “High Working Committee between Turkey and America” ​​(TAİK), who was active on behalf of Erdogan’s administration to lobby through Mike Flynn, Trump’s national security advisor, is now unable to go to the United States because There is still an arrest warrant and an indictment against him on charges of espionage.

D) Trump’s personal lawyer Rudy Giuliani, who during his presidency in Washington to prevent a decision against Ankara in the Halk Bank case, is directly from the president. The Republic of Turkey had received money, and is currently being tried in various cases for allegedly interfering with the results of the 2020 US election.

During Trump’s presidency, Washington-Ankara relations were in the orbit of friendship. But Joe Biden has full faith in intergovernmental institutional relations and the boundaries of classical diplomacy, and besides, he has never wanted a warm relationship with Erdogan.

Richard Grenell since playing a key role in Mitt Romney’s campaign. In 2012, he worked particularly hard with hawkish Republicans. After Trump was elected as president in 2016, he emerged as one of the strong spokesmen of the “regaining American power” discourse, and Trump appointed him as the US ambassador to Germany in 2018.

Grenell in the last year of Trump’s presidency in 2020 as the director of national intelligence. He was appointed and played various roles at the heart of US policies on the Balkans, Israel, Turkey and Iran.

Grenell, previously known as a hawkish Republican, has a controversial security character, claiming As a homosexual and a better Christian, he contributes to the growth of American policy in the world and especially in the transatlantic alliance.

The Washington Post newspaper wrote in a conversation with sources close to Trump that Grenell and Erdogan called and asked him to disrupt the NATO game regarding Sweden and not agree with Biden.

Grenell in September 2023, when Erdogan is in New York to participate in the United Nations General Assembly. He tried to take him to meet Trump. However, when other members of his team strongly objected, Trump backed off. The Washington Post wrote that they did not find any information about who Grenell was in contact with from Erdoğan’s team.

Contradiction in Ankara-Washington relations
Ms. Chumley Bell believes that Erdogan’s close circle has been careless about the consequences of the Erdogan-Trump meeting, and in a situation where Biden is still in the presidential seat, such an action will affect Turkish-American relations even more. It would hurt.

At the same time, he pointed out that despite Erdoğan’s strong interest in Trump, during his tenure in America, such events have happened:
This means that the same Kurdish force known as YPG received permission to enter Raqqa during the Trump era, and YPG started receiving American heavy weapons in 2017. 2. Following Erdogan’s action to attack the Kurds in Syria Trump decided to impose economic sanctions against Turkey and sent a letter to Erdogan saying: “Don’t do something stupid.” This letter is now on the wall in the bar of the Trump Tower Hotel in Manhattan, New York. 3. In 2108, Trump forced Erdogan to release American pastor Andrew Bronson, and Trump’s economic sanctions caused the dollar rate to drop from 3 lira to to reach 6 lira.

Now we have to see what direction Turkish-American relations will take in the future. Is he going to accept Erdogan in the last months of the first presidential term of Biden or not?
