Turkish delight: Trump revels in Erdogan's lavish welcome
From Ottoman warriors in suits of armour to a marble palace and fighter jets, US President Donald Trump got the kind of welcome he loves in Turkey on Tuesday.
World leaders seeking to woo the unpredictable Trump have learned that nothing impresses the 80-year-old more than an arrival fit for a king.
And Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan knows it better than most.
The two ageing leaders share a taste for both lavish presidential architecture and an autocratic style of government, and their bromance was on full display when Trump arrived in Ankara for a NATO summit.
