Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds. Create 20 mile safe zone....

....Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey. Russia, Iran and Syria have been the biggest beneficiaries of the long term U.S. policy of destroying ISIS in Syria - natural enemies. We also benefit but it is now time to bring our troops back home. Stop the ENDLESS WARS!

トランプ大統領「クルドを攻撃すればトルコ経済壊滅」 #nhk_news https://t.co/b1pNB598MN

トランプ大統領は先月、シリアからアメリカ軍の撤退を表明しましたが、過激派組織ＩＳ＝イスラミックステートとの戦いでアメリカに協力してきたシリアのクルド人勢力の処遇について、トルコはクルド人勢力をテロ組織と見なして攻撃の構えを示しており立場の隔たりが続いています。
トランプ大統領は13日、ツイッターに「もしトルコがクルドを攻撃すればトルコの経済は壊滅するだろう」と投稿し、トルコに警告しました。これに対しトルコのチャウシュオール外相は14日、「われわれは脅しを恐れないし、屈しないと繰り返してきた。トルコを経済的に脅すことで達成できることは何もない」と述べて強く反発するなど、両国の応酬が続いています。
こうした中、トランプ大統領とエルドアン大統領は14日、電話で会談しましたが、トランプ大統領がクルド人勢力を攻撃しないよう求めたのに対し、エルドアン大統領はテロとの戦いがトルコの目的だと強調して、攻撃の可能性を否定しなかったということで、クルド人勢力をめぐる両国の立場の隔たりは埋まらないままとなっています。
Spoke w/ President Erdogan of Turkey to advise where we stand on all matters including our last two weeks of success in fighting the remnants of ISIS, and 20 mile safe zone. Also spoke about economic development between the U.S. & Turkey - great potential to substantially expand!

President Trump had an excellent conversation with President Erdogan and reemphasized the consistent U.S. position on standing by the Kurds and those who fought with the U.S.

Report: Iran's secret nuclear archive "provides substantial evidence that Iran's declarations to IAEA are incomplete & deliberately false." The President was right to end horrible Iran deal. Pressure on Iran to abandon nuclear ambitions will increase. https://t.co/ZpqCN51dQh

Always a pleasure to be back touring in #Iraq. Yesterday I had the honor to meet with PM @AdilAbdAlMahdi and FM @Maalhakim to discuss strategy on how to further expand bilateral relations–including trade. We also exchanged views on regional & int’l issues, such as #Yemen, #Syria pic.twitter.com/4kC9ze3Hs7

Additionally, I've had the good fortune to engage in fruitful exchange of thoughts with the head of #Iraq’s Reform and Reconstruction Alliance @Ammar_Alhakeem, as well as with prominent Iraqi leaders -- from @AyadAllawi to friends from the Nasr and Sadrist coalitions. pic.twitter.com/KJMPCyCip9

Today, I, accompanied by 6 Iraqi ministers, addressed hundreds of participants at the Iran-Iraq Joint Trade Conference; exploring paths to significantly expand bilateral trade and investment. With implementation of shared vision, doubling of annual trade volume is on the horizon pic.twitter.com/OVkVRfyOVU

After Sunday dinner in Baghdad with the leadership of the Reform Alliance, I had the pleasure of lunch today with the leadership of the Construction Alliance—the other major Iraqi coalition—to discuss bilateral and regional issues. Both parties cross ethnic & sectarian divides. pic.twitter.com/tdpQibAQvt

Separately, I had the pleasure of meeting with former Prime Minister Maliki and former Prime Minister Allavi—with members of his coalition, including former Speaker Salim al-Jabouri. My visit allows for engaging in dialogue with different political currents and leaders in Iraq. pic.twitter.com/CWyA0PKP8n
