Trotsky President Recep Tayyip Erdogan criticized the decisions of the leader of the White House, Donald Trump, about withdrawing from a nuclear deal with Iran, as well as the transfer of the US Embassy in Israel from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. In his view, thanks to such decisions, the United States lost its mediator status in the settlement of conflicts in the Middle East. He said this during a visit to London, reports The Guardian. Erdogan called the way out of the nuclear deal "part of the scheme for the US administration to take unilateral selfish decisions," and stressed that the transfer of the US embassy was not supported by either international law or the UN. The President of Turkey stressed that "America decided to become part of the problem, not to contribute to its solution, and therefore lost its status as a mediator in the settlement of conflicts". "It's impossible to escape from the feeling that we live in dark days before the Second World War," Erdogan added..

Recall that the arrival of the daughter of American President Trump Ivanka to Jerusalem for the official opening of the US Embassy in the city provoked mass riots and dozens of deaths in the Gaza Strip. The protest action against the transfer of the capital to Jerusalem was attended by 35 thousand people. In the clashes with the Israeli military in the Gaza Strip, more than 40 Palestinians were killed, more than 1,500 were injured. The reason for the protests was Trump's decision to move the capital from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem.
