The Turksih skirmish at the White House was an incident that happened on 16 May 2017 during the visit of Recep Tayyip Erdoğan to meet Donald Trump at the White House. Fighting broke out according to Al-Masdar News "seemingly at the direct order of Erdoğan himself who appeared to be upset over the provocative loudspeaker chants." Several skirmishes broke out after Erdogan's security guards made an initial rush. Suprisingly, no arrests were made, despite several protestors sustaining injuries from beatings and being kicked whilst on the floor.
