Turkey says Trump, Erdogan discussed Libya in phone call

US President Donald Trump discussed the situation in Libya with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan in a phone call on Thursday, Turkey's presidency said less than an hour after Ankara passed a bill allowing troop deployment to Tripoli.
