Yeni Şafak
Turkish Islamist-nationalist, pro-government (AKP/Erdoğan)
Yeni Şafak is a Turkish-language daily owned by the Albayrak Group, a conglomerate whose leadership has deep personal and political ties to President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his AKP party. The paper consistently promotes the Turkish government's positions and reflects an Islamist-nationalist editorial line. Its coverage of the Trump administration is shaped by Turkish national interests: it has highlighted the 2025 Erdoğan–Trump diplomatic rapprochement positively but remains critical of U.S. policy on Israel-Gaza and the American military partnership with Kurdish forces in Syria.
