President Trump will meet with his Turkish counterpart, President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, in Washington next week, ending weeks of uncertainty over whether Erdoğan would make the trip amid tensions over Syria, The Hill reports.

Erdoğan committed to visiting Trump at the White House following a phone call between the two leaders on Wednesday. 

Trump tweeted that the two discussed the situation in Syria, "the ending of hostilities with the Kurds," "the eradication of terrorism" and the Turkish capture of ISIS fighters. He added that he looked forward to welcoming Erdoğan to the White House.

Erdoğan had been expected to make the trip, but the plans were complicated by the fallout from Trump's shift in Syria policy last month.
