Tillerson in Turkey for talks amid Syria strains
US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson is meeting with Turkish leaders for talks clouded by differences over Syria, a day after Ankara announced the end of its military offensive there.
Tillerson, the most senior US official to visit Turkey since President Donald Trump took office in January, is seeking to turn around recently rocky relations between the NATO allies.
After meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, Prime Minister Binali Yildirim and Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu, Tillerson affirms that Turkey is important to American security and economic ties in the region.
