Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., is cautioning that Turkey’s President Recep Tayipp Erdogan has not agreed to stop all military operations in Syria.
His comments came in a Wednesday tweet after President Donald Trump had announced that Turkey has agreed to permanently stop fighting Kurdish forces in Syria.
Rubio wrote: “Erdogan has NOT agreed to stop all military operations in Syria.
“Russia is going to:
“--Remove Kurdish forces from east & west of current Turk controlled area, including Kurdish cities
“--Help #Turkey push all SDF forced 30km south from entire border
“--Take control of 5 oil fields”
Trump said Wednesday he will lift sanctions on Turkey unless “something happens that we are not happy with.”
