WASHINGTON—The United States on Wednesday said it was voicing its "strongest possible" concern to Turkey over violence that erupted between protesters and Turkish security personnel during Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan's visit to Washington.
Police said the fighting that flared outside the Turkish ambassador's residence on Tuesday injured 11 people, including a Washington police officer, and led to two arrests.
"We are communicating our concern to the Turkish government in the strongest possible terms," State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said in a statement.
