Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan is poised to meet US President Donald Trump on the sidelines of the NATO summit in a bid to turn the page on strained relations between the two countries, people familiar with the matter said.

Trump made the comments to reporters on board Air Force One on Tuesday. Earlier in the day, a White House official said Trump was scheduled to meet Zelenskiy at some point during the NATO summit, taking place on Tuesday and Wednesday in The Hague.

NATO leaders meeting this week in The Hague will confront the prospect of another open-ended U.S.-led war outside the North Atlantic region the alliance was created to defend.
