President Trump quoted "Mark Esperanto, Secretary of Defense" on Sunday. But the man he put in charge of the Pentagon is named Mark Esper, not Esperanto.
President Donald Trump once again took to Twitter to defend his decision to pull U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria, opening the door to a Turkish assault on Kurds who had helped America combat the Islamic State, but in the process, he incorrectly identified his secretary of defense.
But the man the president put in charge of the Pentagon is named Mark Esper, not Esperanto. And many observers do not share Esper/Esperanto's certainty that the ceasefire the Trump administration helped broker between Turkey and the Kurdish Syrian Democratic Forces is holding up as well as he and other White House officials have implied.
And Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has emphatically denied his forces were not abiding by the agreement, which Turkey has characterized as a"pause." But SDF spokesman Mustafa Bali said that"despite the agreement to halt the fighting, air and artillery attacks" and that"Turkey is violating the ceasefire agreement by continuing to attack the town since last night."
