Of the many visits from foreign leaders we've had to the White House so far this term, this one had perhaps the most one-sided Q&A we've seen.
Trump dominated and answered almost every question. Part of this may be that the rapid-fire, shouted questions from the press would likely have been difficult for Erdogan's translator to grasp and quickly translate.
On the other hand, Erdogan's stance on most of the major topics of the day, for example, Gaza and the sales of F-35 aircraft, is clear and already known.
However, Trump's views often change and the ultimate fate of the jet sales is unknown, even if Trump seems optimistic. So far, the meeting is not a bad outcome for Erdogan.
Trump was full of praise and the two leaders managed to avoid any kind of disagreement in front of the world's cameras, even if the two clearly have different views on issues such as Gaza.
As we saw with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky and South Africa's Cyril Ramaphosa earlier this year, an absolute worst-case scenario would have been a bitter public feud./ BBC
