      In #Iraq, intensive meetings with PM Abadi in #Baghdad and then KRG PM Nechirvan Barzani, DPM Qubad Talabani in #Erbil. Welcomed their important meeting two days later in Baghdad. U.S. encouraging swift resolution of outstanding issues.pic.twitter.com/bjx84022Ik

      Next spent two days in #Syria, including downtown #Raqqa. Significant change from a visit only two months ago. Consulted with @ERT_Raqqa, which employs local Raqqawis to clear rubble and deliver services to returnees. Our @coalition and @StateDept proud to support them.pic.twitter.com/Q7gqfphF3X

      The ERT in coordination with Raqqa Civilian Council hope to have sixty percent of the population returned by summer. IEDs left behind by #ISIS most significant challenge, but clear signs of recovery in many areas. Historic landmarks like 8th-century era Baghdad Gate still intact.pic.twitter.com/spdhw5Vspy

      Stopped at bustling “King Falafel” in downtown #Raqqa for lunch. Grateful for the hospitality, inspired by optimism of local Raqqawis bringing their home city back to life after #ISIS. (Shawarma is also quite excellent.) Video from sidewalk -pic.twitter.com/Fp49E2ViZN

      Brett McGurk Retweeted Department of State

      As Secretary Tillerson discussed last week, the U.S. will stay in #Syria to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS and help stabilize liberated areas. We cannot afford a vacuum for ISIS to exploit, particularly in notorious safe havens along Iraq-Syria border.https://twitter.com/statedept/status/953725614694965248 …

      Still significant fighting in this eastern border region. Probably 2-3 months of major ops left before shifting to stabilization and internal security. Airstrikes killed 150 ISIS terrorists on Saturday. Direct hit on ISIS HQ after weeks of intel collect.https://twitter.com/oirspox/status/955874980473995267 …

      Precision strikes by @CJTFOIR killed nearly 150 ISIS terrorists near As Shafah, Syria on Jan. 20. Our SDF partners are still making daily progress and sacrifices, & together we continue finding, targeting & killing ISIS terrorists in the middle Euphrates River Valley.#defeatDaesh pic.twitter.com/HTL0wYRlnN

      #Afrin situation developed as we were leaving. US now engaged intensively to urge restraint and de-escalation. We are prepared to work with Turkey on legitimate security concerns, but prolonged operation risks giving life to ISIS as its on verge of defeat. @POTUS readout -pic.twitter.com/vYqtXEcqW2

          Send US troops to Afrin and the attack on the city will most likely stop.

          We Kurds have [unfortunately] been living near Turks for a few 100s of years since they emigrated from central Asian steps. Turks are generally known as extremely violent & uncivilised group of fanatic muslim tribes. They only understand language of violence. #KickTurkeyOutOfNato

          This transcript of the phone call is untrue, it’s full of lies, this is not what was said in the call, refer to the actual tapes issued by Turkey. Did Trump lies become the norm among all who work for him?
