TRT World
Turkish state media
TRT World is the English-language international news channel of Turkey's state broadcaster TRT, funded and controlled by the Turkish government under President Erdoğan. It promotes Turkish foreign-policy interests and reflects the governing AKP party's perspective on global events. Its coverage of the Trump administration is mixed, shaped by Turkey's complex relationship with the United States as a NATO ally that nonetheless frequently clashes with Washington over policy.
Owned byTurkish Radio and Television Corporation (TRT), a state institution under the direct control of the Turkish government; TRT leadership is appointed by the government and overseen by the president's Communications Office
