Steve Kroft\ CBS - President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey speaks with 60 Minutes' Steve Kroft about tensions and anti-Americanism in his country, a NATO ally vital to projecting U.S. military power. When Donald Trump is sworn in as the 45th president of the United States, he’ll be forced to deal with a lot of complicated international issues, especially Turkey. It is an indispensable but angry NATO ally right now, led by an assertive, strong-minded president who you will hear from shortly, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan. He’s been making noises lately about perhaps going his own way in the Middle East, and is being courted by Russia. If it sounds Byzantine, it should be noted that the word was coined to describe the complicated history and politics of this land.

Following a divisive presidential election campaign, more than 700 Islamophobic and racist harassment or intimidation events were reported.

The U.S. Justice Department has investigated whether recent reports of intimidation and harassment, including in schools and at churches, violate federal hate crime and other civil rights laws.

This country has elected its president through a time-tested but seemingly complicated electoral system in a transparent manner. Trump's rival and the odds-on favorite Hillary Clinton, while barely hiding her disappointment, called Trump to wish him success and even offered to work with him. On the other hand, Trump expressed a willingness to cooperate with President Barack Obama.
