Speaking to reporters on his way back from France, where he met US Counterpart Rex Tillerson, Cavusoglu said that the US needs to start taking concrete actions to win Turkey's trust again.

"There was a loss of trust with the United States during this period. Until trust is instilled again, it is not right for these issues to be discussed," Daily Sabah quoted Cavusoglu as saying.

US and Turkish military commanders discussed the possibility of creating a "secure zone" along the border with Syria, a Pentagon spokesman said Thursday amid Turkey's ongoing military operation in northwestern Syria's Kurdish town of Afrin.

"We monitor the weapons we have provided carefully and ensure that weapons do not fall into the wrong hands," Lieutenant General Kenneth McKenzie said in a statement.
