Ankara and Washington have reached pre-agreements on certain issues, CNN Turk said, without elaborating.

Relations between the two countries have steadily worsened, strained by differences on Syria policy and over the trial of U.S. pastor Andrew Brunson on terrorism charges, prompting Turkey’s lira currency to plunge to a record low on Monday.
