"I think President Trump is now considering the possibility of leaving Syria," Mr. Cavusoglu said.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on December 14 that Ankara is ready to launch an operation against the Kurdish People's Protection Units (YPG) in Manbij, Syria if the United States does not withdraw the group from there. Erdogan discussed the situation in Syria on the same day by phone with US President Donald Trump.
