TRT World
Turkish state-funded (pro-Erdoğan government)
TRT World is the English-language international channel of Turkey's state broadcaster. Its coverage generally follows the Turkish government's and President Erdoğan's line, and researchers describe it as a pro-AKP outlet. I found no solid reporting on its coverage of the second Trump administration, so that stance is a tentative judgment, not a measured one. It is likely to track Ankara's foreign-policy interests: neutral to warm when U.S.–Turkey ties are good, and critical of U.S. policies Ankara opposes, such as on Israel/Gaza or Kurdish groups.
