u.s. around, i mean, push us out of the region. i would think the u.s. would say, we're staying and i know you don't want to attack u.s. forces. how do you make the argument that this wasn't the u.s. retreating? >> yeah, i think that's an overstatement. we've known since the original partnership since the united states and sdf -- >> that's the kurds. >> that's right, that turkey protested. many of the sdf are terrorists, they knew, are members of the pkk. they've had two or three incursions over the past three years. as i came into office, this was probably the top foreign policy issue on my plate, constantly working with the kurds to establish a safe zone. due to domestic politics, security concerns, any number of factors, it became career to me and other members of the national security team that the turks were going to do this regardless. i thought it would have been irresponsible, as did the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff, to leave our soldiers, numbering less than 50, in between a turkish army of 15,000 plus and their route of attack. >> one

u.s. ambassador to syria he joins us live from washington d.c. thank you very much indeed for joining us so we have got this bizarre situation where we now got a president trump sending us president pence and a pump to turkey to try to argue with turkey to stop the invasion and these are these nato allies what does this leave the kind of strategic relationship between the u.s. and turkey well obviously the relationship is quite strained and probably will remain so for. a fair amount of time but the fact of the matter is is that turkey is a nato ally. and a country that occupies key geography we have been in we have. their man. base in toyota and turkey said that there are nuclear weapons stored there that's been in the new york times of light. meanwhile turkey also controls about 3 and a half 1000000 syrian refugees. and if europe and the u.s. put too much pressure on them they might just start sending them towards europe as they did several years ago and in the meantime the turkey doesn't appear to want to back down in the face of sanctions immi

tactics are what we can use in the moment to fight back when we think we're threatened. strategy is what we yao u.so g -- use to get ahead in the long run. he's not a tactical puncher as he said, the moment calls for strategy. not tactics. >> nancy pelosi said what do you think you were saying with your finger staring president trump down, she said something to the effect of, no. the road does not end with putin or something to that effect. i want to ask one more question. i read this piece by a writer at the "daily beast." he writes about trump in the white house, and lying, and what they're doing really actually goes way beyond that. hang with me. a long quote but incredible i thought. "a direct nuclear assault on the truth. it's not. i didn't r didn't break the figurine. like saying, mom, i didn't broke it, suzy broke it i painstakingly glued it back together and facts say suzy was away at camp and b. you're looking at it on the dining room table until a million pieces, orchestrated by suzy and at donna, met together recently." i know, i know. "met on more than one occasion and people say aunt d

u.s.-made equipment was not used except for four vehicles that were captured by the enemy. s.-made vehicles being used in attacks on key locations and personnel, legitimate government of yemen, this, in spite of the fact that the uae told us no weaponry was being used without their direct oversight. we also contacted the pentagon who told us there is an ongoing investigation into our previous findings. for how much longer or what they'll do with it, hard to say, all the while, the war in yemen rages on, more lethal than ever. >> this issue of the continuing of arms sales to saudi arabia has been a major concern for lawmakers for some time and cnn has learned that they are calling negotiating to add conditional bans to the upcoming defense spending bill and we are already getting reaction to our reporting. senator elizabeth warren has told us that one report of u.s. military equipment ending up in the hands of our enemies is troubling. two reports is deeply disturbing. the defense and state departments have not yet provided february, and i intend to follow up. >> i'm sure the

the u.s. used air strips, air space, air installations in turkey, so what kind of leverage, if any, does the u.s. have in trying to persuade turkey to stop doing what it's doing, even though it was this administration's pullout of u.s. troops that has opened the way for this to happen? >> in the view of many, it has opened the way. some people very strongly inside the u.s. military feel that if the u.s. troops hadn't initially been pulled out, they would have been on the ground, they would have been a deterrent to the turks. many say, no, they were coming south, anyhow. it has had animosity toward the turks for a decade, and president erdogan simply wanted to come south, and he was going to do it, cross into syria and take territory one way or the other. in terms of leverage, what can the trump administration do now? it's very hard to see. it's important to remember turkey is a member of nato. the u.s. is not going to go to war against a nato ally. the president is talking about economic sanctions

it's good to have you with us u.s. president donald trump and his plans for leaving syria are drawing fire tonight from both sides of the political aisle senior congressional politicians are calling on president donald trump to reverse his just says to withdraw u.s. troops from northern syria the pullout with turkey to launch a long planned offensive against kurdish fighters in the region fighters that have been loyal allies of the united states and its fight against so-called islamic state. leaving in a hurry american troops started pulling out of syria within hours of the official announcement. they leave behind them empty bases near the turkish border bases that had been a guarantee of safety for kurdish forces u.s. president donald trump abruptly canceled that guaranteed by tweet the kurds fought with us but were paid massive amounts of money and equipment to do so they have been fighting turkey for decades it is time for us to get out of these ridiculous endless wars many of them tribal and bring our soldiers home

u.s. sanctions court documents say iran access international markets using proceeds from its oil and gas sales on tuesday the u.s. announced sanctions against turkey in response to its offensive in northeast in syria let's bring in algeria economics editor now abbott alley for more on this side discuss the background 1st of this indictment against how bank how do we get to this particular point so this is really important because this started way back in 2016 when reza sourav who was a rainy and cold trader was traveling to disneyland and was arrested at. miami airport now it's important put in context because this is a a long running case so he testified against an executive for how bank and that exact he was sentenced to prison in 2018 and served 32 months he's now back in in in turkey and alleges that. that iran and turkish officials colluded to get money out of turkey into dubai where they could sell gold and then fund the rain regime so that was the crux of the case. so that's the context of it now put it into perspective because this is not the only bank and other european banks for inst

u.s. funds are being used in a way that's actually not compatible with u.s. policy. u.s.e promoting this kind of settlement construction. resize the because it is incompatible or at best detrimental to what we want to see happen. the bigger picture here is about what this relationship needs, what this friendship is like. in the same way that in the u.s. you can be, and we are, deeply patriotic and committed to our country thriving, without that in any way meeting yet to support the u.s. current president and his agenda -- [applause] by the same token you can be committed to the u.s.-israel alliance without that attending that you are supportive of comforts of any individual policy choice by a right-wing government. [applause] that doesn't have to entail that. and again, if you look at the bigger picture of the vacuum of u.s. leadership right now around the world, certainly it has emboldened adversaries. you look at the way that russia throws its weight around, the way china is behaving, and it's a real concert in terms of what happens with our adversaries. i think the hea
