White House statement
U.S. President Donald Trump spoke by phone with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan on Wednesday, urging his NATO ally to limit its military actions in northern Syria, according to a White House statement.


The phone call came as intense battles continued between Turkish forces and the U.S.-backed Kurdish troops on the outskirts of the Kurdish-controlled Afrin enclave in northern Syria.
