President Donald Trump on Wednesday hailed a ceasefire that was established along the Syrian borders, saying Turkey’s government informed him in the morning that it would be “stopping combat” and will “make the ceasefire permanent” amid its incursion into Kurdish-held territory in Syria.
“I do believe it will be permanent,” he said, adding that the Treasury Department will “lift all sanctions” against Turkish officials that were imposed earlier this month. The sanctions will be lifted unless Turkey “does something we’re not happy with,” he said.
