In May, eleven people were injured and two arrested outside the Turkish ambassador's residence in Washington DC, after a brawl broke out between supporters and opponents of Mr Erdogan.

The US summoned the Turkish ambassador over the incident, which Washington police called a "brutal attack on peaceful protesters".
