During the telephone talk, US president Donald Trump called on Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan to limit the military operation in Syrian Afrin, the White House statement said.
He also stated the need for de-escalation and demanded to avoid casualties among civilians.
In addition, Trump asked Erdogan to take all necessary measures to exclude clashes between the American and Turkish forces in Syria. Note that the US military stay in Syria illegally, so the call to “avoid casualties” among the US military sounds more than strange.
By the way, the Americans provoked Turkey for a military operation in Syrian Afrin. However, at the same time, the Turkish side took up the “Kurdish problem” under the guise of an anti-terrorist operation.
