The call between US national security adviser Jake Sullivan and Ibrahim Kalin, an advisor to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, occurred as rumors swirl about a new Turkish military intervention in northeastern Syria.
Erdogan and US President Joe Biden are set to meet on the sidelines of the COP26 conference in Glasgow at the end of the month.
Reuters reported that the officials discussed a wide range of issues, including US weapons sales to Turkey, Afghanistan, and Syria.
The call comes days after Erdogan withdrew a threat to expel ten ambassadors who had criticized his government’s treatment of jailed philanthropist Osman Kavala.
