As the Impeachment hearings continue, President Trump and Turkey's Erdogan will meet with Republicans at the White House. The agenda includes Turkey's decision to buy a Russian air defense system and its attack on U.S.-allied Kurdish forces in Syria.
President Donald Trump speaks to reporters on the South Lawn of the White House in Washington, Friday, Nov. 8, 2019, before boarding Marine One for a short trip to Andrews Air Force Base, Md. and then on to Georgia to meet with supporters.
Last month, the House overwhelmingly passed a bill to sanction senior Turkish officials and its army for the military incursion into Syria to fight the Kurds. Erdogan sees Kurdish forces in Syria as an extension of a separatist Kurdish group that’s been fighting inside Turkey since the 1980s. Trump administration officials have said the president told Turkey not to invade Syria. But when Erdogan insisted, they say Trump decided to move 28 Green Berets operating on the Turkey-Syria border so they wouldn’t be caught in a crossfire between Turkish-backed forces and the Kurds.
She said Trump must send a message to Erdogan that these actions and unlawful behavior must stop and that those responsible be held accountable.
