President Recep Tayyip Erdogan's planned meeting with U.S. President Joe Biden, set for May 9 at the White House, has been postponed because of changes in the Turkish leader's schedule, a Turkish official said on Friday.

A new date will soon be set, the official said, requesting anonymity.

The White House had not formally announced the visit, but a U.S. official told Reuters in late March that the White House had offered, and Ankara had accepted, May 9 for the meeting.
