Turkey’s president has criticized the United States national security advisor for his comments about a planned U.S. troop withdrawal from Syria. Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan spoke Tuesday in Ankara. He said U.S. national security advisor John Bolton “made a serious mistake” in setting conditions for Turkey’s military after the U.S. withdrawal. Erdogan also said that Bolton met with Turkish officials in Ankara Tuesday but left Turkey without holding expected talks with the president. Last month, U.S. President Donald Trump announced that the U.S. would withdraw its troops from Syria. The 2,000 U.S. troops are in Syria to fight the Islamic State militant group. A spokesman for the Defense Department, Commander Sean Robertson, said that they have “an approved framework for withdrawal.” He said commanders are now carrying out the withdrawal.
