Trump announces Turkey sanctions 'will be lifted'
[DAWN] President Donald Trump...the Nailer of NAFTA... announced on Wednesday the United States is lifting sanctions on  ...the only place on the face of the earth that misses the Ottoman Empire..., hailing the success of a ceasefire along its border with Syria. The president, who has been under fire for abruptly withdrawing US troops from northern Syria, paving the way for Turkey to launch a deadly offensive against the Kurds, added that a "small number" of US troops would remain in the conflict-hit country. "Earlier this morning, the government of Turkey informed my administration that they would be stopping combat and their offensive in Syria and making the ceasefire permanent," he said in a televised address from the White House.
