U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday spoke with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan and urged him to limit his forces' assault against a Kurdish enclave in northern Syria, the White House said, according to AFP.
In a telephone call, Trump called on Erdogan to "de-escalate" the attack on the northern Syrian region of Afrin and expressed concern about "the destructive and false" anti-American rhetoric emanating from Turkey.
