Trump did not tell Erdogan he would extradite Gulen: White House official

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - President Donald Trump did not commit during a meeting with Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan at the G20 summit two weeks ago to extradite a Muslim cleric based in the United States, a White House official said on Monday.

“While meeting with President Erdogan at the G20, the president did not commit to extradite Fethullah Gulen,” a senior White House official said. Erdogan blames Gulen for a failed coup in 2016.
