BREAKING: In an extraordinary Sunday night statement, the White House announces that the US "will no longer be in the immediate area" of Northern Syria, allow Turkey to launch an invasion in the region and give Turkey responsibility for captured ISIS fighters in the area.
In the statement, the White House calls out its allies in "France, Germany, and other European nations" for not taking back captured ISIS fighters from those nations, and declares that the US will no longer hold them at "great cost to the United States taxpayer."
On Saturday, Turkey signaled intention to begin operations, saying an incursion was "imminent" in the region, where US troops have been seeking to broker an agreement between Turkey and Syrian Kurds.

The US statement makes clear the US won't interfere. nbcnews.com/news/world/u-s…
