WATCH: Trump says in Erdogan meeting that U.S. will lift Turkey sanctions, consider selling F-35s
Earlier, Erdoğan had waited on the blue carpet for Trump as he descended from Air Force One. They shook hands and Trump squeezed Erdoğan's shoulder.
Erdoğan was wearing sunglasses as they posed for pictures in the bright sun.
He then tapped and squeezed Trump's arms, and they walked the carpet together, inspecting the Turkish troops, with Erdoğan gently guiding Trump by the arms at times.
They did not make comments to reporters, but Trump could be heard speaking to Erdoğan and his wife about the new airplane he's using as Air Force One.
