The US will neither support or otherwise be involved in the looming Turkish military operation in northern Syria, nor will it interfere, as American troops will no longer be in the “immediate area,” the White House has announced.
The US has apparently achieved its immediate goal in the region – nothing less than singlehandedly defeating Islamic State terrorist group and capturing hundreds of their fighters, obviously – and will now generously allow Turkey to take over, Donald Trump’s spokesperson has announced following the US leader’s Sunday call with Turkish president Recep Tayyip Erdogan.
Wow. The White House says Turkey is about to move "forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria" and the US "will not support or be involved in the operation" and US troops "will no longer be in the immediate area." pic.twitter.com/57F8tB1K97
