	WHAT DID THE WHITE HOUSE SAY?

	 

	"Turkey will soon be moving forward with its long-planned operation into Northern Syria," the statement said.

	 

	"The United States Armed Forces will not support or be involved in the operation, and United States forces, having defeated the ISIS territorial 'Caliphate', will no longer be in the immediate area."

	 

	The White House statement also said that Turkey would take over all responsibility for Islamic State (IS) group fighters captured over the past two years.

	"The United States will not hold them for what could be many years and great cost to the United States taxpayer."
