On Sunday, Turkey’s foreign minister indicated that President Trump had not dropped the controversial idea of extraditing Fethullah Gulen, a Muslim religious leader and longtime U.S. resident accused of instigating a coup against Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan in 2016. The U.S. should not be in the business of trading residents for better relationships with authoritarian rulers.

Speaking in Doha, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said, “Last time we met in Buenos Aires, President Trump told President Erdogan that they have been working on that,” he explained in reference to Gulen’s extradition. He added, “we need to see concrete steps because it has been already two years, almost three year,” reiterating the demand for extradition.
