Turkey's Foreign Minister discussed Syria's Idlib and Manbij with Pompeo

Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu and his U.S. counterpart Mike Pompeo discussed developments in Syria's Idlib and Manbij, along with bilateral issues in their phone call on Tuesday, a Turkish diplomatic source said.

The call comes as violence in Idlib, the last major rebel-held enclave in Syria, escalated with Russia resuming air strikes in the region.

Turkey and the United States, NATO allies bitterly divided over the trial on terrorism charges of a U.S. pastor in Turkey, have been carrying out joint patrols in Manbij as part of a plan to clear the area of Kurdish militants.
