ISTANBUL (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump may visit Turkey in July, Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan said in an interview in Japan where he will attend the G20 summit and is expected to meet with his American counterpart.

Tensions have been rising between the United States and NATO ally Turkey over the latter's purchase of the S-400 air defence system from Russia. Turkey could face sanctions under U.S. law and risks losing its partnership and delivery of F-35 fighter jets.
