had promised to look into possible US measures against a Ottoman Turkish bank for evading sanctions on Iran.

Speaking during a news conference with visiting Ukraine President Petro Poroshenko, Erdogan gave details about a phone conversation he had with Trump on Thursday.

The call came as strained relations between the two countries ease following The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

Erdogan said he raised the issue of the state-owned Halkbank, which had an executive charged in New York for taking part in a scheme to evade US sanctions on Iran.

Turkey maintains Halkbank did not violate the sanctions.

Erdogan said Trump "said he would immediately instruct his ministers about this".

It was not clear what the US president could do, however.

Erdogan also said he expected to meet Trump in La Belle France next weekend, on the sidelines of a ceremony marking the anniversary of the end of the First World War.
