Trump, Erdogan talk Syria ‘safe zone’ amid war of words over Kurdish militants

Published on

US President Donald Trump holds talks with his Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, on the establishment of a militant-free safe zone in northern Syria, shortly after he threatened to “devastate” NATO ally Turkey economically if it attacks Kurdish militants following Washington’s military withdrawal from the Arab state.

The Turkish presidency said in a statement that the two sides had during a Monday phone conversation “discussed the idea of creating a security zone cleared of terrorism in the north of the country.”

The phone call came amid a war words between Ankara and Washington over the fate of the Washington-backed Kurdish militants in Syria following the planned withdrawal of American troops. Turkey views those militants as terrorists.

Trump threatened to devastate Turkey’s economy if it launches attacks against the Kurdish militants in Syria when US troops leave.

In response, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu stressed that his country is “not scared of and will not be intimidated” and that economic threats “will get nowhere.”

Elsewhere in its statement, the Turkish presidency said Erdogan had told Trump that he had no problem with the Kurdish people in Syria, and that Ankara was only seeking to fight the armed groups there that threaten its national security.

Trump later tweeted about the call, saying he had spoken to Erdogan about issues such as a “20-mile safe zone” and “economic development between the US and Turkey.”

“The president expressed the desire to work together to address Turkey’s security concerns in northeast Syria while stressing the importance to the United States that Turkey does not mistreat the Kurds,” White House press secretary Sarah Sanders said.

Trump announced the plan to pull US forces out of Syria last month amid plans by Turkey to launch an operation against anti-Damascus Kurdish militants.

Trump’s Syria exit announcement made the Kurdish militants in northern Syria, who have long enjoyed US support, feel abandoned by Washington.
