Turkish President Erdoğan lays a trap for Trump

In his “great and unmatched wisdom,” President Trump has opened the Pandora’s box that is Turkey.

Within 72 hours of U.S. withdrawal in northern Syria, Turkish forces moved into the region and attacked our Kurdish allies. Trump claimed he could contain Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, threatening to tank Turkey’s economy if Erdoğan ordered an attack without U.S. approval. And Erdoğan responded in kind, threatening to release millions of Syrian refugees into Europe if the West labeled Turkey’s military incursion as an occupation.
