Trump to Lift Turkey Sanctions

VOA News

   President Donald Trump announced the U.S. will be lifting sanctions on
   Turkey, saying he has been informed by Ankara that its ceasefire in an
   offensive against Kurds in northeastern Syria will be permanent.

   "The sanctions will be lifted unless something happens that we are not
   happy with," Trump said in a speech at the White House.

   Turkey on Tuesday said there is "no need" to resume its military
   offensive against Syrian Kurds, saying the U.S. has told it that the
   Kurdish withdrawal from the northern Syrian border is complete.

   Turkey made its announcement hours after the five-day long cease-fire
   expired in the Turkish military incursion into what had been a Kurdish
   safe zone in northern Syria.
