Biden's meeting with the Turkish President came ahead of meetings with world leaders focused on global supply chain issues. Ahead of the meeting, Biden said he planned on having a "good conversation" with the Turkish President while standing beside him. Biden and Erdoğan last met one-on-one in June at NATO headquarters in Brussels, a meeting Biden called " positive and productive. " And as supply chain disruptions hiked prices for consumers and slowed the economic recovery, Moody's Analytics warned that the disruptions "will get worse before they get better." Biden coordinated with French President Emmanuel Macron on the matter during their bilateral meeting on Friday, according to a White House official.
