The Pentagon on Friday urged Turkey to halt its military incursion into Syria, saying it threatens progress in combating the ISIS terror group and could put U.S. troops in harm’s way.
Department of Defense Chief Pentagon Spokesperson Jonathan R. Hoffman said in a statement that the U.S. opposes Turkey’s “uncoordinated actions” in northern Syria as the NATO ally has pressed ahead with an offensive against a Syrian Kurd-led militia that has partnered with U.S. forces over the past five years to fight ISIS.
