Trump says Turkey's ceasefire in northern Syria now permanent

The United States will lift sanctions it had imposed on Turkish imports following U.S. President Donald Trump saying on Wednesday that Turkey was making a ceasefire in northern Syria permanent.

Trump also used the White House announcement, where he was flanked by Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo, to declare a change of course in U.S. relations with the Middle East, where he said too many American service members had died.
