In less than a week, Turkey has managed to draw the ire of most of the world, including most on Capitol Hill, as they move to eradicate Kurds and Christians in eastern Syria. Their invasion, coordinated with attacks by their Syrian al Qaeda proxies, have already caused turmoil, killed hundreds, and displaced hundreds of thousands.
Now, President Trump appears ready to follow through on his threat to “cripple Turkey’s economy” through sanctions.
Dealing with @LindseyGrahamSC and many members of Congress, including Democrats, about imposing powerful Sanctions on Turkey. Treasury is ready to go, additional legislation may be sought. There is great consensus on this. Turkey has asked that it not be done. Stay tuned!

The President has been criticized by many in both political parties following the White House announcement that we are withdrawing troops from the border region. What followed was such a quick response in the form of an all out Turkish invasion that it’s clear they’ve been planning this for some time.
Our EIC took to Twitter to push the President towards following through with his threat against Turkey should they cross the line. As he noted, they have clearly crossed the line.
It's time to cripple Turkey's economy with harsh and unambiguous sanctions, @realdonaldtrump.
Recep Tayyip Erdogan has heard the threats and has doubled down as a result.
Bringing al Qaeda in and facilitating the release of ISIS fighters and supporters crosses the line.

Bringing troops home is a great thing.
Leaving a vacuum in our wake for radical Islamic terrorists to rise once again under Erdogan's haphazard charge is a very bad thing.
As ISIS regroups and al Qaeda expands, Americans and our allies become less safe.

Historians can debate the efficacy of rapidly pulling back our limited number of troops from the Syrian-Turkish border. My focus is on the immediate future.
We must cripple Turkey's economy immediately.
They have crossed the line and the situation is getting much, much worse.

The tribalism in American politics must not be used to justify Erdogan's actions. If this happened under Obama, all conservatives would be outraged.
The proper course of action is for President Trump to cripple Turkey's economy as promised. If not, I'm very concerned about 2020.

Reports of civilian deaths are mounting. It isn’t just the Kurds that Turkey and al Qaeda are targeting. Syriac Christians are in the crosshairs as well. The intense fighting seems to be focused on clearing out entire cities to make room for the millions of refugees the Turks currently hold. Instead of just taking out military targets from the Kurds, who Turkey believes to be terrorists, the invaders are wiping out the entire populations in cities and villages near the border.
Senator Lindsey Graham chimed in. Graham has been a Trump supporter, but broke from the White House over the Syrian withdrawal. Now, he’s voicing hope and alignment with the President’s sanction plans.
Just spoke with President @realdonaldTrump.
I applaud his decision to work with Congress to stop Turkeys aggression in Syria through crippling economic sanctions.
This decision by President Trump will be a game changer — in all the wrong ways — for Turkey.

Turkish President Erdogan clearly lied to President Trump. It’s time to send them a clear message in response. Our troops may be coming home, but we can stop this bloodbath through sanctions. Cripple their economy, Mr. President.
