Vice President Mike Pence said Trump had told Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan in a phone call on Monday to agree to an immediate ceasefire. "The United States of America simply is not going to tolerate Turkey's invasion in Syria any further. Turkey launched a cross-border operation into northern Syria on Wednesday just days after Erdogan told Trump in a phone call that he planned to move ahead with a long-planned move against America's Kurdish allies in the region. "As I have said, I am withdrawing the remaining United States service members from northeast Syria," said Trump. He said it will authorise sanctions such as blocking of property and barring entry into the United States.
