At home, President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are under siege. But the Turkey deal gives Pence and Pompeo a break from the political inferno.
ANKARA, Turkey — At home, President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo are under siege.
The president, speaking in Texas ahead of a political rally, was far more expansive. He hailed the deal as “an amazing outcome" that saved "millions and millions of lives."“This is a situation where everybody is happy,” Trump said. “The Kurds are very happy. Turkey is very happy. The United States is very happy. And, you know what? Civilization is very happy. It’s a great thing for civilization.
Only 24 hours earlier, Trump’s gambit to send Pompeo and Pence to Ankara had alarmed some in the administration. There were some small signs for hope all day. Pence and Erdogan held the first meeting one on one, with envoy Jim Jeffrey — a longtime Middle East hand — serving as the translator for the U.S. side. The meeting was scheduled to last for just 10 minutes, aides said, but it stretched to nearly an hour and a half.
But almost immediately, Turkish crews began setting up cameras. And Pence and Pompeo were readying to leave the palace for the ambassador’s residence to announce the framework of the agreement.
