US Secretary of State Antony Blinken will travel to Türkiye to discuss support after massive earthquakes, his first trip to the NATO ally which was struck with twin quakes last week, leaving more than 35,000 people dead and devastating southern provinces. Blinken will visit Incirlik Air Base on Sunday, through which the United States has shipped aid, and then hold talks in the capital Ankara on “continued US support,” State Department spokesperson Ned Price said on Wednesday.
