Trump says Kurds are 'no angels', after US allies helped defeat Isis
Donald Trump has described Kurds as "no angels" as he attempted to defend his decision to allow Turkey's offensive in Syria.
The comments from the president - who also said it was "fine" for Russia to assist Assad regime in the conflict -come despite Kurdish forces being longstanding allies of the US who played a key role in the defeat of Isis.
He also claimed imposing US sanctions on Turkey would be better than fighting in the region.
