It was underscored that Turkey, determined to continue the fight against DAESH terrorist organization in Syria, would take all kinds of measures in order to prevent the recurrence of such a problem in the region ever again.
The frustration over the U.S. military and security bureaucracy's failure to fulfill the agreement between the two nations was shared with Mr. Trump.
