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.
"Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria," the White House said in a statement late Sunday."The United States Armed Forces will not support or be involved in the operation, and United States forces, having defeated the ISIS territorial 'Caliphate,' will no longer be in the immediate area."
"The United States Government has pressed France, Germany, and other European nations, from which many captured ISIS fighters came, to take them back, but they did not want them and refused," the U.S. said in it statement."The United States will not hold them for what could be many years and great cost to the United States taxpayer."
