WASHINGTON ¨C U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer on Thursday called an agreement between the United States and Turkey on a pause in Ankara¡¯s offensive in northeastern Syria a ¡°sham.¡±
The agreement ¡°seriously undermines the credibility of America¡¯s foreign policy and sends a dangerous message to our allies and adversaries alike that our word cannot be trusted. President Erdogan has given up nothing, and President Trump has given him everything,¡± Pelosi and Schumer said in a statement.
Congress¡¯s top Democrats said the House of Representatives would vote on a bipartisan sanctions package against Turkey next week.
