Possibilities for a New Approach to the Cyprus Issue under Trump's Leadership
October 22, 2025
Cyprus may have a new opportunity to resolve its division under Donald Trump's leadership, as recent elections have brought a moderate leader to the occupied areas. The implementation of strategic incentives from the U.S. could lead to the withdrawal of Turkish troops. The political situation has remained stagnant for many years, with previous attempts failing. However, the victory of Tufan Erhurman brings a sense of hope for cooperation between the two communities. Support from the U.S. may prove crucial for achieving a lasting peaceful solution.
