White House official denies Trump has said sorry to Erdoğan for clash in USA

Trump and Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke on the phone about a May clash in Washington that involved Erdogan’s bodyguards, Turkey’s leader told PBS. Turkish President told PBS that Trump had expressed regret over the matter and said he’d follow up on the issue.  President Donald Trump said he was “sorry” about the incident where Turkish security personnel attacked protesters in Washington D.C., according to an account from Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan.

Later however, a White House official denied Trump had said sorry to Erdoğan for the clash in USA. The official said to CNBC “They discussed a wide range of issues but there was no apology”.

Talking about the incident, a grand jury in Washington had indicted 15 Turkish security guards for beating up Kurdish protesters during Erdogan’s visit to the U.S. capital in May. Washington’s police chief called the incident a “brutal attack” on peaceful protesters, while the U.S. State Department described the situation as “deeply disturbing.”
