Ankara: Fresh from talks with US President Donald Trump, British Prime Minister Theresa May will meet Turkish leaders in Ankara today, hoping to expand ties and seal a new trading relationship before Britain leaves the EU.
On a one-day visit to the Turkish capital, her first since becoming premier, May will hold talks with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and Prime Minister Binali Yildirim.
While some EU states have been wary of sending top officials to Turkey following the July 15 failed coup and ensuing crackdown, May will follow several senior British ministers who have visited Ankara in recent weeks.
And symbolically, her visit to Turkey is the last leg of a trip which took her to the White House as the first foreign leader to be hosted by Trump.
