UK “deeply concerned” about Turkish plans for northern Syria
The White House announced on Monday that U.S. armed forces will not be involved or support a planned Turkish operation in northern Syria.
Turkey said it had completed preparations for a military operation in northeast Syria after the United States began pulling back troops on Monday, opening the way for a Turkish attack on Kurdish-led forces long allied to Washington.
Britain is deeply concerned that Turkey plans to launch a military campaign in northern Syria, Prime Minister Boris Johnson’s spokesman said on Tuesday.
Asked about U.S. President Donald Trump’s comments that Britain was “thrilled” with his policy shift on Syria, Johnson’s spokesman said U.S. troop movements are a matter for the United States.
