In his weekly briefing, the spokesman of the US State Department, Ned Price, responded to the Syrian crisis and Turkey's actions.
"Our message has been consistent. We make it clear that we strongly oppose military action, including a possible ground invasion, which would further destabilize life in Syria and jeopardize the global coalition's hard-won progress.
We believe that all parties should de-escalate immediately. That's the message we've been sending consistently in recent days. Escalation in Syria and along the Turkish-Syrian border will be dangerous. It will threaten civilians and possibly even the security of the United States," Price said.
