US says “We don’t have any agreements yet with the government of Turkey”
The United States doesn’t have any agreements yet with Turkey on Manbij in northern Syria, the State Department said on May 29.
“We don’t have any agreements yet with the government of Turkey. We announced previously that the United States and the Turkish working group met…in Ankara [on May 25],” State Department spokesperson Heather Nauert said during a daily press briefing.
“We’re continuing to have ongoing conversations regarding Syria and other issues of mutual concern. The two sides then had outlined the contours of a roadmap for further cooperation, and that includes on Manbij,” Nauert said.
