Erdogan’s announcement came after Turkish officials held talks in Ankara this week with the U.S. special representative for Syria, Jim Jeffrey. An SDF military source said Jeffrey met the SDF leadership in northern Syria on Wednesday.
Erdogan said Turkey was the victim of a “stalling tactic” over Manbij and Islamic State no longer posed a threat in Syria.
“Now, it’s time to realize our decision to disperse the circles of terror east of the Euphrates. The fact that we have deep differences in perception with the United States is no secret,” he said.
