US President Donald Trump has praised Turkey’s Recep Tayyip Erdogan and China’s Xi Jinping during a joint media conference with NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte. “I like Erdogan, I tell you; I like President Erdogan. He rolled out the red carpet; he’s terrific,” he said. “He could have gone into the war like with Bibi ... he could have gone into the war because he doesn’t like Israel much and he doesn’t like Bibi much and he didn’t go because of me. “I think China treated us right. I was with President Xi, and I said I hope you’re not going to go into the war because we don’t want that ... and he never went into the war.”
