Turkey set to invade Syria; US to remove forces from area
Turkey is set to invade Syria, as the country had been threatening in recent months, with the U.S. saying it will remove all of its forces from the"immediate area," according to the White House.
The news came late Sunday after President Donald Trump spoke to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan by phone earlier in the day. The White House also confirmed that Turkey will take possession of all captured ISIS fighters from the past two years. Trump and Erdogan agreed to meet at the White House in November, Turkish state media reported, though the White House did not mention that in its statement.
