Washington: The US delegation, headed by US Vice President Mike Pence, is about to leave for Ankara to pressure Turkey to stop the military offensive in northern Syria. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump said that the US has taken a “very strict” stand against Turkey and has imposed strict restrictions on it.
Trump said in the White House that his administration wanted to bring American troops back home. Will go.
Meanwhile, Erdogan rejected the US proposal for a cease-fire in northern Syria, saying he was not worried about US sanctions.
The daily newspaper ‘Hurriyat’ quoted Erdogan as saying, “They want us to declare a ceasefire.” We cannot declare a ceasefire. The Turkish attacks, which began last week following the US decision to withdraw its forces from Syria, are intended to expel the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces SDF from border areas.
The Turkish government wants to create a “safe zone” in the area, where it can resettle the 2 million Syrian refugees who are currently in Turkey.
Trump said, “Mike (Pence) is preparing for a big trip. He will leave on Wednesday.
The White House said that the ongoing violence in the region is greatly weakening the ‘Defeat ISIS’ campaign, endangering the safety of ordinary citizens and religious minorities and the region as a whole. He said that the administration is determined to ensure the safety of the area and common citizens.
Trump has been criticized for withdrawing forces from Syria. On this matter, Trump said, “We want to bring back our soldiers who have been there for many years, they are the greatest warriors in the world.”
He said, “They are not police forces, but they are doing their work.” They are different types of force. We want to bring back our troops and we are taking a very tough stand against Turkey and many others. “The White House said Pence would repeat Trump’s commitment to imposing economic sanctions on Turkey until a solution is reached. .
Trump said that they have to ensure peace and security and we’ll see what happens to the delegation.” We are demanding a ceasefire. ”
He said, “We have imposed the most stringent restrictions that you can imagine, but if they are not affected then we will impose further restrictions on steel including tariffs.” He ships a lot of steel to America. They make a lot of money from it. They will not be able to earn a lot of money. ”
Trump has imposed sanctions on Turkish ministers and senior officials, proposing to raise steel tariffs and end negotiations on a $ 100 billion trade deal. Meanwhile, a bicameral, bipartisan resolution was introduced in Congress to protest against Trump’s decision in Syria.
