Erdogan Reaffirms Türkiye's $100 Billion Trade Goal with US

President Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Monday reiterated that the $100 billion trade volume target between Türkiye and the United States remains a shared objective.

Speaking at a Turkish investment conference in New York organized by the Türkiye-US Business Council, Erdogan said he believes Ankara and Washington will reach a $100 billion trade target with the support of the private sector and new investment initiatives, The Caspian Post reports, citing Anadolu.

Türkiye-US defense industry cooperation must be freed from obstacles and restrictions as soon as possible in line with the spirit of alliance, he said.

"We expect" the momentum in bilateral ties to accelerate by exploring cooperation opportunities in sectors including energy, cyberspace, and space, Erdogan highlighted.

"We continue to take steps to strengthen a transparent, competitive, secure market environment that will make Türkiye more attractive to investors," he noted.

Türkiye's strong logistics infrastructure, modern ports, and advanced highway and railway networks make it a strategic hub for investors, he added.
