White House national security adviser John Bolton said on Sunday that the US withdrawal from Syria is now linked with Turkey's agreement to protect the Kurds.
Bolton added that the US also wants measures to protect withdrawing US forces.
He told reporters during a visit to Israel, that Trump "wants the ISIS caliphate destroyed," a reference to ISIS militants in Syria.
Bolton, who will travel to Turkey on Monday, said the United States will talk to Turkey to find out what its objectives and capabilities were, Reuters reported.
He stressed that the US doesn't wish Ankara to make any move that’s not fully coordinated with Washington.
“We don’t think the Turks ought to undertake military action that’s not fully coordinated with and agreed to by the United States," Bolton told reporters.
