From Fox...Trump 'went off script' during call with Erdogan, senior military source reveals
25th Amendment? This guy is as crazy as they come. People are dying right now because he 'went off script'Trump 'went off script' during call with Erdogan, senior military source reveals
President Trump "went off script" during his call on Sunday with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, before he announced that the U.S. would withdraw all troops from northeast Syria ahead of a Turkish military operation in the region, a well-placed senior U.S. military source told Fox News on Wednesday.
During the phone call, Trump had talking points, according to the source: “Tell Erdogan to stay north of the border."
“He went off script," the source said.
Erdogan launched Operation Peace Spring on Wednesday morning after President Trump said the U.S. would pull its troops from the area, a move many analysts and political observers have called a blow to the U.S.-backed Kurdish forces there.
