NEW: Pres. Trump says he will make a statement on Syria at 11:00 a.m. ET. Russia and Turkey reached an agreement yesterday to share control of Syria's northern border, as the White House has touted the ceasefire as a success:
Russia and Turkey have reached an agreement to share control of Syria's northern bordersuperseding a deal, between President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and U.S. Vice President Mike Pence that was reached last Thursday.
After the announcement, the U.S. special envoy for Syria told the Senate Tuesday that Putin took"a page from what we have done" and came up with a"similar ceasefire in many regards for the rest of northeast Syria, except the Turks got even less" -- meaning Russia got more out of its negotiations with Turkey than the U.S. team.
If the YPG exit this area in the next 150 hours, or just over six days, then Russian and Turkish military units will conduct joint patrols at the 10 km line to ensure the deal meets what Turkey says are its security concerns about Kurdish terrorists in the area. Turkey considers the once U.S.-backed YPG to be a terrorist organization, indistinguishable from Kurdish separatists across the border in Turkey that Ankara and Washington both consider terrorists.
But he again denied blame for the Trump administration. While he said it was not"inevitable" that Turkey conducted this operation, he said Erdogan and his government chose to act"unwisely and dangerously ... despite warning after warning and incentive after incentive" from the U.S. not to do this, including from Trump himself.
