'Sanctions aren't going to do any good': Senate GOP blasts Trump's Turkey strategy

Senate Republicans are calling President Trump’s pullout of American troops from northern Syria a blunder that economic sanctions on Turkey will be useless to remedy.

The Trump administration and lawmakers from both parties are scrambling to slap Turkey with biting sanctions in a desperate bid to stop Ankara from annihilating the United States’ Kurdish allies in Syria. But dismayed Senate Republicans are conceding that they expect sanctions to fail to deter Turkey from targeting the Kurds and said the damage to America’s reputation was already done.
