FOX News Alert: Turkey prepares to invade Syria
The White House statement said Turkey will take custody of foreign fighters captured in the U.S.-led campaign against ISIS who’ve been held by the Kurdish forces supported by the U.S.
Hasn’t Trump been trying to get rid if these ISIS guys for awhile?
TURKEY NOW RESPONSIBLE
After the Erdogan-Trump phone call, the Turkish presidency said the two leaders had agreed to meet in Washington next month.
It said that during the call Erdogan had expressed his frustration with the failure of U.S. military and security officials to implement the agreement between the two countries.
The White House statement said Turkey will now be responsible for all ISIS fighters in the area captured over the past two years, as France, Germany and other European nations from which they came refused U.S. requests to take them back.
The NATO allies agreed in August to establish a zone in northeast Syria along the border with Turkey.
