Turkey starts bombing Kurds
[DailyMail] Turkey fires first shots: Ankara bombs Kurdish supply route ahead of invasion to create a 'peace corridor' along border just hours after Trump pulls US troops - as president reveals he has invited Erdogan to the White House next month
  • Turkey confirmed it carried out strikes against Kurdish forces on the Syria-Iraq border overnight Monday

  • Strike was designed to sever supply lines between Kurds in the two countries in preparation for invasion

  • Turkey plans to create a 'peace corridor' in northern Syria by driving Kurdish forces away from its border

  • Comes after Donald Trump agreed to withdraw U.S troops from Syria, but denied he abandoned the Kurds

  • Trump revealed on Tuesday that he has extended an invitation to Turkey's President Recep Tayyip Erdogan to meet with him at the White House in November

  • He tweeted that Turkey was a 'good trading partner' of the U.S and 'have been very good to deal with'
