The minister emphasized that after the election, the US may bring this issue to the agenda: "The US does not want to maintain a military presence in the area under Iran's sphere of influence. The Americans are discussing leaving Iraq's Central Iraqi Administration in 2025 and the Kurdistan Region in 2026. Now is the time to discuss the existence of an international coalition to fight ISIS."
Fidan also talked about the perspective of Ankara-Washington relations: "The whole world is interested in the results of the election held in the US.
