Tayyip Erdogan informed by Trump about U.S based Muslim cleric

U.S. President Donald Trump told his Turkish counterpart, Tayyip Erdogan, that Washington was working on extraditing a U.S.-based Muslim cleric accused of orchestrating a failed Turkish coup in 2016, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said on Sunday.

"In Argentina, Trump told Erdogan they were working on extraditing Gulen and other people," Cavusoglu said at a conference in Doha, referring to the G20 summit in Argentina from Nov. 30 to Dec. 1. (Reporting by Dmitry Zhdannikov; Writing by Maher Chmaytelli; Editing by Mark Potter)
