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…

JUST IN: House Intel Cmte. Chairman Schiff says Amb. Sondland has messages on a personal device that he has given to US State Dept. but State Dept. is withholding messages from Congress; says blocking testimony and refusing to provide documents is seen as evidence of obstruction.
House Republicans say they were looking forward to Amb. Sondland's testimony today, before it was blocked by the State Dept.; say transcript of Volker testimony should be released, and call Chairman Schiff's handling of impeachment inquiry unfair and a "kangaroo court."

Today, President Donald J Trump Spoke with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan of Turkey 🇹🇷 by phone. Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria 🇸🇾.
The 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 US will not hold them for what could be many years and great cost to the US taxpayer. Turkey will now be responsible for all ISIS fighters in the area captured over the past two years in the wake of the defeat of the territorial "Caliphate"

If this is true, it is NOT soon enough and for that I am sorry. For all who have died at this regime's orders. If this is true, I am glad that the end of war may be near.
