If you asked me how the last four years have been between Ankara and Washington, I'd say it's been tumultuous. A relationship that was once centered on personal diplomacy became institutionalized under Biden.

Now a new administration is coming to the White House, but with a familiar face at the helm. Donald Trump's decisive victory brings with it many questions about what US foreign policy will look like. 

His election win will be felt far beyond the US, especially in Ukraine, where the future president claims he could end the war in 'one day'. Trump, who proclaimed himself as Israel's best friend, is inheriting a powder keg in Gaza and Lebanon. One issue that has remained the same since he left office 4 years ago, is Syria, where Trump wanted to withdraw US troops.

With the region in chaos, he will be looking to US allies for support. One of them will surely be Turkish President Erdogan. Both leaders share a close personal relationship - but they've also bumped heads on foreign policy. So, will issues like Ukraine, where Trump and Erdogan see eye to eye, help advance ties - or will differences in the war on Gaza place both leaders in opposite camps?
