Trump Warns U.S. ‘Will Devastate Turkey Economically if They Hit Kurds’ in Syria
by Aidan McLaughlin | Jan 13th, 2019,

President Donald Trump said the United States will “devastate Turkey economically” if the country attacks Kurdish fighters in Syria.

In a Sunday evening tweet, the president wrote that he is “Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions.”

“Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds,” Trump continued. “Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey.”

President Trump dispatched national security adviser John Bolton on a cleanup mission a week ago, with a three-day itinerary in Israel that was intended to reassure a close ally that Trump’s impulsive decision to immediately withdraw troops from Syria would be carried out more slowly and with important caveats.

The plan seemed to work at first. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was all smiles, thanking Bolton profusely for the show of U.S. support.

But by the end of the week, attempts to dissuade Trump or place conditions on the withdrawal faded as the U.S. military announced it had “begun the process of our deliberate withdrawal from Syria.” A multipronged effort by alarmed U.S. national security officials, foreign allies and Republican hawks in Congress to significantly alter or reverse Trump’s decision was effectively a bust.
