Turkey's President Tayyip Erdogan will meet US President Donald Trump in May ahead of a meeting of the NATO alliance, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu says.

On Monday, sources in Erdogan's presidential palace said Trump had called Erdogan to congratulate him on winning a referendum to expand his authority.

The two also discussed developments in Syria and the US response to a chemical attack in Idlib province in early April.

Cavusoglu says he and US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will finalise the date according to the two presidents' schedules.
