Vice Pres. Mike Pence meets with Turkish Pres. Erdogan in Ankara to call for a cease-fire following Turkey's push into northern Syria.
A senior U.S. delegation led by Vice President Mike Pence pursued an uphill mission Thursday to persuade Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to call for a cease-fire in his fight with Kurdish forces in northern Syria.
Trump suggested Wednesday that Kurdish fighters might be a greater terror threat than the Islamic State group, and he welcomed the efforts of Russia and the Assad government to fill the void left after he ordered the removal of nearly all U.S. troops from Syria amid a Turkish assault on the Kurds. "I'm sorry that we are where we are. I hope the vice president and the secretary of state can somehow repair the damage," McConnell said Wednesday.
Trump started it on a positive note by suggesting the two of them"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!"
