WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump on Wednesday played down the crisis in Syria touched off by Turkey's incursion against U.S.-allied Kurdish forces, saying the conflict was between Turkey and Syria and that it was up to the countries there to work it out.
Trump, speaking to reporters at the White House, said imposing U.S. sanctions on Turkey would be better than having U.S. forces fighting in the region, adding that he was confident about the safety of U.S. nuclear weapons in Turkey.
