U.S. Not Planning to Provide Ammunition to Turkey for Syria Campaign
(Al-Monitor) Jack Detsch - The U.S. will not provide fresh supplies of ammunition to Turkey for its ongoing offensive in Syria's contested Idlib province. The State Department's special representative for Syria, James Jeffrey, told reporters Tuesday that the U.S. would provide fresh supplies of ammunition to Ankara. But a State Department official later clarified to Al-Monitor, "On Ambassador Jeffrey's comments in Turkey today regarding equipment and assistance for the Turkish government, there is nothing particularly new here as he was talking in the context of what we are already doing."
