US President Donald Trump has announced lifting of sanctions on Turkey after its ceasefire in offensive against Syrian Kurds.
He said there will be a “permanent” ceasefire in the conflict between Turkey and the Kurds in northern Syria. The Kurds largely withdrew from the region under the terms of a 120-hour ceasefire.
In his announcement, Mr. Trump said that Turkey informed him there would be a “permanent” ceasefire between Turkey and the Syrian Kurds.
“However, you would also define the word permanent in that part of the world as questionable,” Mr. Trump added. He also said that sanctions on Turkey imposed by the administration would be removed.
