Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and his U.S. counterpart Donald Trump talked about the latest developments in Syria in a phone call Wednesday, according to the Turkish presidency.
The phone call came after the alleged chemical attack in the city of Douma in Eastern Ghouta.
Trump said Wednesday in a tweet that missiles "will be coming" in response to Syria's suspected chemical attack, adding "Get ready Russia, because they will be coming, nice and new and 'smart!'"
However, the U.S. and its allies are "still assessing the intelligence" needed to prove Syrian government conducted the alleged attack, US Defense Secretary Jim Mattis said on Wednesday.
As the United States and its Western allies are considering military options against Syria over its alleged use of chemical weapons in Douma, Ankara has resumed its calls for "regime change."
"The Assad regime should absolutely leave power in Syria. It is not the first time the Assad regime used chemical weapons, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said.
When asked about a possible military action against the Syrian government by Western countries, "We will wait and see," Çavuşoğlu said.
