Turkey has warned its citizens against travel to the United States, saying Turks face the risk of arbitrary arrest and should take precautions if they do decide to travel.

These comments come after the US warned its citizens planning to visit Turkey to reconsider, due to "terrorism and arbitrary detentions". Ties between Washington and Ankara have been strained by a number of disputes in recent months, and Turkey has blamed the US travel warning for harming relations. Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu said he would discuss the matter with his counterpart Rex Tillerson on the sidelines of a conference in Vancouver.
