Kurds might be freeing ISIS prisoners: Trump

Washington: President Donald Trump suggested that Kurds could be freeing Islamic State (ISIS) prisoners amid the offensive launched by the Turkish army in northeast Syria in order to compel the United States to get involved in the situation, and warned that big sanctions were about to be imposed on Ankara.
“Kurds may be releasing some to get us involved,” Trump posted on Twitter on Monday, adding that the former war prisoners can be “easily recaptured by Turkey or European Nations from where many came,” but warned that to be able to do so, “they should move quickly.” “Big sanctions on Turkey coming! Do people really think we should go to war with NATO Member Turkey? Never ending wars will end!” he tweeted, Efe news reported.
Trump noted that the United States will not get involved in “another war between people who have been fighting with each other for 200 years.” With regard to the jihadist prisoners, he said that Europe had the chance to get them back but “didn’t want the cost” and left it up to the United States to pay the bill.
Just this Monday, France announced it had taken steps to strengthen security in it territory due to the terrorism that could be unleashed by the release of jihadists held by Kurdish forces in northeast Syria until the Turkish attack began.
