Vice President Joe Biden told Turkey’s top legislator Wednesday that he would rather controversial Turkish cleric Fethullah Gulen live somewhere other than the U.S., during a meeting of the two leaders in Ankara.

Turkey is asking Washington to extradite Gulen, who lives in Pennsylvania. Biden said he wished the cleric who Turkish officials believe was instrumental in the failed coup against President Recep Tayyip Erdogan had chosen to exile himself somewhere else.
