U.S. delegation to seek a cease-fire with Turkey and Kurds
A Syrian regime soldier waves the national flag on the western entrance of the town of Tal Tamr as Syrian regime forces moved toward the Turkish border Oct. 14 after Damascus reached a deal with beleaguered Kurdish forces following a U.S. withdrawal. A Turkish-backed Syrian fighter fires on enemy positions in Syria’s northeastern town of Ras al-Ayn as Turkey and its allies continue their assault on Kurdish-held border towns in northeastern Syria.
Trump started on a positive note by suggesting they “work out a good deal,” but then talked about crippling economic sanctions and concluded that the world “will look upon you forever as the devil if good things don’t happen. Don’t be a tough guy. Don’t be a fool!”Trump did place some sanctions on Turkey for the offensive. But he appeared to undercut his delegation’s negotiating stance, saying the U.S. has no business in the region — and not to worry about the Kurdish fighters.
As he seeks to push Erdogan to agree to a cease-fire, Pence will confront doubts about American credibility and his own, as an emissary of an inconsistent president. The withdrawal is the worst decision of Trump’s presidency, said Sen. Lindsey Graham , who meets often with the president and is one of his strongest and most important supporters in Congress.
