Biden excludes US reporters from ‘very good’ meeting with Erdogan

President Biden said Monday he had a “good meeting” with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan after a last-minute decision to exclude US reporters from the room — leaving confused journalists in a hallway to rely on Erdogan’s PR office for information.

Biden’s formal meeting with the Turkish strongman, whose government frequently jails journalists, was supposed to begin with American press access in the room at the annual NATO summit.
