Bipartisan group of House lawmakers urge Trump to cancel Turkish president's WH visit
A bipartisan group of House lawmakers is urging President Donald Trump to cancel a planned White House visit by Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan on Wednesday.
“Given this situation, we believe that now is a particularly inappropriate time for President Erdoğan to visit the United States, and we urge you to rescind this invitation,” the lawmakers wrote.The letter, dated Nov. 8, also referenced Erdoğan’s decision to purchase the Russian S-400 system, which the U.S. had warned was not compatible with NATO forces and could serve to aid Russian intelligence.
“We’re very concerned about those issues, the war crimes issues,” O’Brien told CBS’s “Face the Nation.” Secretary of State Mike Pompeo also said Monday that Trump would be discussing Turkey’s invasion of Syria with Erdoğan on Wednesday and would push for an outcome that protects “all of those in Syria.”
