NEW: Pres. Trump says he will impose sanctions on Turkey over its actions in northeastern Syria. The move comes in the wake of the president's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from the area.
President Donald Trump is carrying out his threat to"decimate" the Turkish economy, in the wake of his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria.
The president had no public events on Monday and has remained holed up in the White House, taking to Twitter to defend his decision of pulling U.S. troops from Syria. And as many people are witnessing disturbing scenes of mass atrocities and executions, Trump also tweeted that Islamic State prisoners could be"easily recaptured by Turkey and European nations."
"Turkey's unilateral action was unnecessary and impulsive. President Erdogan bears full responsibility for its consequences, to include a potential ISIS resurgence, possible war crimes, and a growing humanitarian crisis. The bilateral relationship between our two countries has also been damaged," Esper said in his statement.
