Thousands of civilians have fled fighting in Syria for the border with Turkey.
WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump warned Russia and Iran on Thursday not to kill "innocent civilians" in a Syrian conflict that has forced an exodus of residents from Idlib province to unstable areas near the Turkish border.As many as 200,000 civilians have fled Idlib province as forces loyal to Syrian President Bashar Assad bomb rebel-held territory.
Syrian forces have bombarded southern and eastern Idlib province, the last rebel stronghold in the war-torn country, since late November. A ground offensive that began last week displaced more people, and government forces captured more than 40 villages and hamlets, according to the Syrian army and opposition activists.
Trump faced a backlash in October for withdrawing U.S. troops from northern Syria, clearing the way for Turkey's invasion days later. The president reasserted his relationship with Erdogan during a White House visit last month, saying he is a"big fan" of his Turkish counterpart.
