That says it all and 20yearold outfielder juan soto rocking that monster home run last night and i would say get that man a beer but he wont be 21 until iday, so early happy birthday to him and what a big week. What a big week. There will be some big celebrations coming up. But we are going to begin with that explosive day in washington. The top u. S. Americas top diplomat in the ukraine making the case that President Trump held up military aid on the condition that ukraine investigate his rival joe biden and the 2016 election. Directly contradicts President Trumps denials of a quid pro quo as a brandnew poll just out this morning shows support for the impeachment inquiry hitting a new high. 55 according to quinnipiac, it jumped from last week. Our senior Congressional Correspondent mary bruce starts us off from capitol hill. Good morning, mary. Reporter george, good morning. Democrats say this testimony is the most damaging yet to the president and it outlines what the president and his allies have been denying, a clear link between trump and the campaign to push ukraine to investigate the president s political opponents. In explosive testimony bill taylor, the top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine, personally implicates President Trump in a quid pro quo Pressure Campaign. Describing in detail how trump withheld military aid to force ukraine to investigate his political rivals. This is my most disturbing day in congress so far. Very troubling. Reporter democrats in the room say there were gasps and sighs as taylor, a career diplomat, described eight separate times he was told the president demanded pressure be put on ukraine to investigate the bidens and debunked theories about the 2016 election. His Opening Statement which is now in the Public Domain is devastating to donald trump. It was very damning for the president. Reporter for weeks, taylor says he was given no reason for why that much needed assistance was being held up but then in september the u. S. Ambassador to the eu, gordon sondland, told him, the president himself wanted ukraine to announce a public investigation into his democratic rivals. Ambassador sondland said, everything was dependent on such an announcement including security assistance. That trump insisted ukrainian president zelensky go to a microphone and say he is opening investigations of biden and 2016 election interference. And that trump wanted zelensky in a public box by making a Public Statement about ordering such investigations. Taylor detailing the Pressure Campaign that trump has repeatedly denied. That there was no quid pro quo. There was no quid pro quo. There was no quid pro quo. Reporter according to taylor, the secretaries of defense and state, the cia director and the National Security adviser sought a joint meeting with the president to convince him to release the hold on the aid. But that meeting never happened. Taylor describes an irregular informal channel of u. S. Policymaking that includes ambassador sondland, and was led by the president s personal attorney rudy giuliani. That unofficial channel, taylor says, was running contrary to the goals of longstanding u. S. Policy. Now taylor alerted multiple officials including the secretary of state sending a cable to secretary pompeo descri the, quote, folly he saw in withholding this aid which taylor says was potentially life saving and critical to fending off russian aggression. Taylor told pompeo he simply could not defend holding up this aid but taylor says he did not receive a response. George. Not much response from republicans on capitol hill but the white house put out a statement. Reporter in a statement the white house says the president did nothing wrong and there was no quid pro quo. They continue to insist the president has done nothing wrong. They say this is just a, quote, Smear Campaign by far left lawmakers and radical unelected bureaucrats but taylor, of course, was put into this position by pompeo himself and he has served under president s of both parties since 1985. Yes, mary. Before that he graduated with honors from west point, served in the infantry in vietnam, so this idea that hes a radical waging w on the constitution, that is a quote from the white house statement, is the smear right there directly contradicted by taylors lifetime of service. I want to bring in dan abrams, our chief legal analyst, for more on this and clearly this testimony, the most significant incident yet in this impeachment inquiry. Absolutely and you cant view it in a vacuum, right . The administration would like you to say, well, you cant believe this guy, this guys an outlier. The problem is that his testimony is entirely consistent with both the transcript of the phone call thats come out and the Text Messages among the diplomats. And the admission from Mick Mulvaney last week. And Mick Mulvaney as well. So you have to take it together. I mean, in a typical trial, right, Defense Attorneys will try to get people to isolate a single piece of evidence and say to the jury, youre not going to convict on that piece of evidence, are you . Thats not enough to have proof beyond a reasonable doubt and prosecutors will say, wait a sec, look at all of this together and put all the pieces together and thats what i think you have to do in the context of what were seeing here. And it leads you to more things and used to talk about the whistleblowers being a road map. This also a road map leading to new testimony from other witnesses and other documents. With dates and times and notes to back it up. I mean, thats the important thing here. Taylor isnt just winging it here. He isnt just saying, you know what, i think it was this day. He literally has notes contemporaneous notes from all of this to back up what hes saying and going through methodically in his Opening Statement. He created a road map. He laid out day by day heres what happened and then i responded and then they responded this way, et cetera. Thats what makes this so much more powerful than just someone coming in and testifying. White house sticking to this line, no quid pro quo. Right. And so the president even seems according to the testimony from taylor, was saying no quid pro quo while doing things that would clearly be identified as a quid pro quo. And when youre looking at it, legally for impeachment purposes, whatever, you can call it whatever you want. Its the actions, its the words that matter, not just how you characterize it. Dan abrams, thanks very much. Okay, george, the impeachment inquiry has President Trump firing back and that is sparking new outrage this morning. The president comparing the inquiry against him to a racist and painful chapter in American History tweeting, take a look, all republicans must remember what they are witnessing here, a lynching, now some of his republican allies quick to denounce the language but others defended it. Take a listen. This is a lynching in every sense. This is unamerican. I think lynching is being seen as somebody taking the law in their own hands and out to get somebody for no good reason. Okay, so lets bring in terry moran there at the white house. Terry, this was yet remarkable moment in this presidency. Reporter it sure was, the president has used a lot of incendiary language to express his fury at this impeachment inquiry, but for millions of americans, this crossed a line. The history of lynching in america is a history of pain and terror and racist tyranny. Thousands of black americans were murdered this way, so for the president to compare a congressional investigation to a lynching, it was a rhetorical firebomb. One he deliberately detonated for political purposes and even for some of his republican allies, it was too much. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell of kentucky said that given the history of our country he would not have used this term. The president s defenders were quick to point out that some democrats including joe biden used the term to describe the impeachment of bill clinton. Biden apologized. Bidens defendersay neither he nor the other democrats have the same. One more headline before we let you go. That senior that anonymous senior official who penned the oped claiming to be part of the resistance inside the administration now has a book coming out. Reporter thats right. Its the book that has washington buzzing today. Coming out next month. Titled a warning. Th author is a Senior Trump Administration official. In that original the New York Times article he painted a devastating portrait of President Trump saying that he was erratic, making reckless decisions. This is the kind of thing that just infuriates the president. He clearly does not have the loyalty of everyone around him. Cecilia. Terry moran. Thanks very much. Coming out november 19th. We move to the latest on the crisis in syria. As u. S. Troops continue to pull back, russia is moving in. Reaching a deal with turkey on controlled kurdish territory and our chief foreign correspondent, James Longman reports from the region this morning. Good morning, james. Reporter good morning, george. America moving out, syrias future now firmly in the hands of these evendominant power brokers, president s putin and erdogan cementing their control of the north. After a sixhour meeting, the two men agreed on a new deal. Turkey will retain its control of the area, its claimed after these last two weeks of fighting but now Kurdish Forces are required to withdraw from even more land, a strip of territory to the east and west along the border. Erdogan saying Kurdish Military positions are to be destroyed and that kurdish soldiers will be forced to pull back. His ultimate goal to resettle 2 million Syrian Refugees in turkey currently, into that kurdish region, meaning the fate of thousands of kurds already uprooted from their homes is still in the balance. Without their American Partners in the face of a looming humanitarian crisis, the kurds may have little choice but to accept, george. And james, at least some of the u. S. Troops pulling out will be going to iraq. That comes with some controversy as well. Reporter yeah, thats right. The iraqis are now publicly refusing to allow them in and so the defense secretary mark esper has been in baghdad making their case for redeployment. Were just hearing in the last few moments theyll have four weeks in which to leave. This has been a chaotic situation and one over which russia and turkey have taken full advantage. George. James longman, thanks very much. Michael. Thank you, george. Now to the extreme fire danger in california. Its intensifying this morning. Record heat posing dangerous conditions and ginger is here with the red flag warnings right now. Good morning, ginger. Good morning to you, michael. Right behind the storm that will bring snow from denver to amarillo theres this great basin high settles in by tomorrow and that rotates clockwise, sends winds offshore, especially in california. The whole state almost is under some sort of critical fire danger. Tomorrow, Southern California going to get into extreme fire danger. But today is northern californias turn to be at its worst.

The Utility Company pg e announced that theyre doing a preventive power shutdown to almost 200,000 california customers later today hoping to avoid more fires there. They are on the front lines. Were going to turn now to that big new twist in the College Admissions cheating scandal. Some of the parents fighting charges including Lori Loughlin are now facing new counts of bribery that could mean more prison time if convicted. Eva pilgrim has the latest. Good morning, eva. Good morning to you guys. Lori loughlin saying reportedly she feels like david versus goliath. These new charges only aimed at the parents who opted not to take the plea deal. This morning, the pressure mounting. 11 parents who pled not guilty in that varsity blues College Admissions scandal now facing new federal bribery charges including Lori Loughlin and her husband. A source closed to loughlin reportedly telling People Magazine the actress is terrified of the new charges saying, quote, the stress is about to break them. The full house actress and her husband, mossimo giannulli, are accused of paying 500,000 to get their two daughters into usc by posing them as elite athletes. If you would have said england is my city i would say why did i pay all this money for your education . Reporter the parents are now waiting to go to trial after pleading not guilty. Prosecutors say the mastermind behind it all, rick singer, emailed the company about their oldest daughter writing, while i create a coxswain profile for her, it would probably help to get a picture of her on an erg in workout clothes like an athlete. Giannulli at one point forwarded a 200,000 invoice, part of their older daughters admission to usc, to his accountant with a note, good news, my daughter is in usc. Bad is i had to work the system. These new charges come as Felicity Huffman is set to be released this weekend from prison. This new video showing her husband, william h. Macy, visiting, Walking Around a fencedin area. In may, the desperate housewives star pleaded guilty to paying 15,000 to have a proctor correct her daughters s. A. T. Scores. Prosecutor Andrew Lelling spoke about huffman to our abc affiliate. She took responsibility almost immediately. She was contrite, did not try to minimize her conduct. I think she handled it in a very classy way. Reporter huffman and the other parents whove already cut a deal not affected by the new charges just filed. When your friends tell to you lie on your resume, you 100 do not do it. Reporter jane buckingham, a marketing guru and television personality, who pled guilty to mail fraud is expected to be sentenced today. And a lawyer for one of the other parents facing new charges releasing a statement saying, its simply a transparent attempt by the government to jack up the sentencing guidelines because they dont like the sentences imposed thus far. Definitely an interesting turn for this case. Okay, eva, thanks very much. Lets bring dan abrams back for more on this. You just heard one of the critiques of what the prosecutors are doing. The evidence has been out there a long time. Why the new charges now . Right, so as far as we know there is no new evidence in the case and if prosecutors are frustrated by the comparatively soft sentences people are getting and as a result are throwing additional charges at the people who are remaining, thats not really proper. I mean, theres no way prosecutors would admit, yeah, we were frustrated with the sentences so we added more charges. They could also be pressing for a settlement. Of course, they are. I mean, of course, theyre trying to squeeze them to plead guilty here but, you know, look, and there still could be deals. Just because they havent cut a deal yet doesnt mean that there couldnt be a deal moving forward. But, look, no one wants to defend any of these defendants. They are some of the most despised people on the planet right now and Everyone Wants to treat this as if its sort of a capital crime. The reality is, we have to look at this the way wed look at any other case and when you look at a case like this and you say, hmm, another new set of charges here with no new evidence, not that unusual to add charges later, but against this many people, it just does start to feel like prosecutors are frustrated either by the sentences or the lack of guilty pleas. So thats whats happening here. Theyre sort of looking ahead feeling like they might not be getting the outcome that they want. They might get the outcome that they want but this feels like overreaching to me. You look at the technical statute this, bribery statute being applied. Does it check all the boxes . Over 10,000, et cetera, yes. Is it what this law was passed for . No. So it does feel like a bit of a reach by prosecutors. Okay, weve got you on double duty. Thank you. Coming up, that abc exclusive. Joining us live the reporter behind those groundbreaking interviews with prince harry and duchess meghan. How he almost moved the duchess to tears and harry telling him about his relationship with his brother. Nce comes in lots of flavors. Theres the ampedup, overtuned, feedingfrenzyof sheetmetalkind.

Were back now with an abc news exclusive on the groundbreaking new documentary, harry meghan an african journey. The royal couple getting candid and emotional about their personal challenges in a way weve never seen before. Were going to talk live with that documentarys interviewer, tom bradby, in a moment but fiamy isere with the latest on that remarkable special. Good morning, amy. Yeah, it really was such an incredible insight, michael. Good morning and meghan was actually out and she was putting on a good face last night after seeming to be on the verge of tears in that new documentary that is airing tonight right here on abc. The duchess of sussex. Reporter a regal Meghan Markle making quite the entrance at londons royal albert hall. All set to the song happy by pharrell. The audience erupting into applause. The duchess of sussex on hand for the one young world summit. An event bringing together talented young people from around the world. Meghans appearance here coming amidst dozens of stories being reported by the press. Tabloids focused on a supposed rift between prince harry and his brother Prince William while a cnn report quoting a source close to the couple says harry and meghan are singlehandedly modernizing the monarchy and that the institution around the royal family is not harnessing their full potential. All these headlines following candid intimate interviews in the itv special harry meghan an african journey reported by journalist tom bradby. Theres been a lot of talk in the press about rifts with your brother. How much of that is true . Were brothers. Well always be brothers. Were certainly on different paths at the moment but i will always be there for him. Reporter bradby, a veteran reporter in britain has a long history with the royal family counting princes harry and william as friends attending both of their weddings. His raw interview with meghan particularly making news. Thank you for asking because not many people have asked if im okay but its its a very real thing to be going through behind the scenes. And the answer is, would it be fair to say not really okay as in really been a struggle. Yes. It was such an emotional and candid interview and harry and meghan are once again splashed across the covers of the british tabloids this morning as the fallout from that special continues. Guys. Okay, amy, thank you so much. Joining us live from Buckingham Palace with much more on his revealing and emotional report is british itv anchor and interviewer from harry meghan an african journey, tom bradby, welcome to you. Thank you so much for joining us. You really managed to give us an extraordinary look at two people who are normally so private. What did you do to get them to open up like this . Its a good question. I suppose i just told the story that was in front of me really, anything like this is always storytelling, as you know, and i went, you know, intending to make a documentary that was always going to be about their work in africa and then a little bit about where they are at in life, and i knew that everything wasnt entirely rosy behind the scenes, thats true. But all the same i sort of had intended to turn up probably doing a more conventional journalistic job and maybe i told them beforehand i would have to put pretty pointed questions but i think the reality i found was just a couple that just seemed a bit bruised and vulnerable. I think with Mental Health we have to be careful what words you use but that was the story i found and it seemed the right journalistic thing to do to try to tell that story as empathetically as i could. The approach i should take on this occasion. You use those words bruised and vulnerable. We could see it in their face. Was there one moment that made you question how theyre coping when you were with them . It was more an accumulated thing really. I had seen them obviously before we left and we had a pretty long chat and so i formed a certain view there. I speak to harry relatively often and have done over the years so as i said, i knew that things werent entirely brilliant behind the scenes but it became a sort of, you know, it sort of built as the tour went on in cape town, then spent a long time with him as we traveled around and just was observing. This was an observational documentary and as time wore on i got a sense of really where he was at. We had a couple of sort of private heart to hearts before we did the interview and after those i said, well, listen, lets just go out and tell the truth as you see it and what happens happens. I would say one thing about harry, hes always been one of those people if you ask him an honest question in public or private he will tend to give you an honest answer for better or worse, and i think thats what was happening here. Do you think it would help if they stepped away from the spotlight . I suppose if i had a hope about this documentary is that everyone takes a really deep breath inside the royal family, outside the royal family, with the public, with the media, just to give them a little bit of space. Thats what i hope will happen. I kind of sense that in the end things werent going in a very good direction here and if this documentary has an outcome, i do hope that its that everyone perhaps including them takes, you know, a really deep breath and maybe thinks pretty hard about how the future might play out. Yeah, theres been this debate about whether harry and meghan are revealing too much or if theyre modernizing the royal family. Where do you stand on that . Well, its quite interesting actually. William is taking a more traditional approach to how to be a member of the royal family and in a sense he has to. Hes going to be king. He cant afford to alienate any constituency and he hasnt and hes playing it in his terms extremely well in quite a traditional way. Harry and meghan have just decided to play things differently. You look at the press, of course, its reaction hasnt been positive to this documentary but, you know, total circulation now, maybe 3 or 4 million in the uk. 29 Million People have watched those clips of the interview on our website alone and thats not even putting on your website or other websites all around the world. They have 10 million instagram followers so i think some of what they were doing here was just emotional. It was just saying this is where were at. Some of it was trying to do things differently and theres been, you know, my impression is for the under 35s, the reaction has been almost universally positive. And the older you get the much more mixed it is. It has been. Its not quite as simple. Tom, i got to jump in and ask, you have a new book coming out.

We have a lot of news to get to this morning, starting of course, with the latest on the impeachment showdown. Explosive testimony on capitol hill. More than nine hours, some gasps in the room as he detailed how President Trump tried to tie a white house meeting and military aid to ukraine to that country investigating his political rivals. I want to bring back mary bruce on capitol hill. Mary. Reporter george, good morning. While democrats here say this is the most damaging testimony yet for the president , that it outlines what trump and his allies have been denying, a clear link between the president and a campaign to pressure ukraine to investigate trumps political opponents. In explosive testimony bill taylor, the top u. S. Diplomat in ukraine, personally implicates President Trump in a quid pro quo Pressure Campaign describing in detail how trump withheld military aid to force ukraine to investigate his political rivals. This is my most disturbing day in congress so far. Very troubling. Reporter democrats in the room say there were gasps and sighs as taylor, a career diplomat, described eight separate times he was told the president demanded pressure be put on ukraine to investigate the bidens and debunk theories about the 2016 election. His Opening Statement which is now in the Public Domain is devastating to donald trump. It was very damning for the president. Reporter for weeks, taylor says he was given no reason for why that muchneeded assistance was being held up, but in september the u. S. Ambassador to the eu, gordon sondland, told him the president himself wanted ukraine to announce a public investigation into his democratic rivals. Ambassador sondland said everything was dependent on such an announcement including security assistance. Now, taylor describes two separate channels of policymaking in ukraine, one that was pushing for this military aid, the other unofficial channel that was trying to use that same aid as leverage to get ukraine to investigate this unofficial channel led by the president s personal attorney rudy giuliani. Taylor describes this as quote, running contrary to the goals of longstanding u. S. Policy and the white house this morning insists the president did not wrong here and say there simply was no quid pro quo. And the testimony will continue today. Mary, thanks very much. Cecilia.

And it is time now for our cover story. We never knew the despair that actor Michael Douglas says he was facing when he called it a nightmare that lasted 18 years. His some Cameron Douglas coming from that line of hollywood royalty. Both his father and grandfather, kirk douglas, legendary actors, but camerons journey led him down a dark path with drug addiction and even years in federal prison. Well, he opens up about it all in his new book long way home and he joins us now. Cameron douglas, welcome, my friend. Welcome. Thank you. [ applause ] i mean, what a wild ride and story that it has been but im curious for you to see yourself. You and your dad, see you talking last night in that special. How was that for you to watch you both talk about this . Well, first of all, i think they did a beautiful job of putting that together. You know, seeing my family, my father and i doing that segment was actually really healing for us, you know. We were talking about things that we would never talk about just him and i together and so that was a beautiful thing that came out of that. But what im really happiest about is the way this book is being received and my hope is that its really going to be able to connect with people, people going struggling with addiction and families dealing with loved ones struggling with addiction. We want to show an emotional moment from our special with your father. Check it out. I want to know if you if you truly gave up, if you truly thought that i wasnt going to make it out where you held on to some hope that i was going to be able to pull through. Oh, i mean, hope, yes. Hope, yes, but if youre asking me, yeah, we always had hope, but, no, i did not think you were i did not think you were going to make it. Wow. I mean, what a moment that is and when you were active in your drug addiction your father said he had to detach himself so for you to hear that how did that affect you . That was one of the hardest things that i have ever heard, but the truth is is that my family, they never gave up on me and although, you know, there came a point when they had to pull back, which i think, you know, families dealing with people that are struggling with addiction should know that there does come a point where, unfortunately, you have to just let nature take its course, you know, and let that person either land or not and but my family has been so supportive and the love and support that theyve showed me was enough to make me want to pull through and be a good person. Yeah, we know your mother was very supportive. Your siblings and your grandfather was very supportive as well. And i think a lot of people have the question, how did you get exposed to drugs at a young age . I think with me it really started with loneliness, you know, i remember back to like early teenage years, i always had this sort of discomfort in my own skin and, you know, that coupled with the loneliness, i think drew me towards, you know, drugs, which kind of, you know, soothe that feeling and then you find a peer group through that, but the longer that, you know as your addict starts to grow you begin to take on that persona and then you forget who you really are and that addict just completely takes over. You said there was a crack in you that drugs, you felt that drugs filled that crack. Yeah, there was a loneliness, there was a loneliness and a discomfort. Growing up in the family that f you grew up in . I think its just i think a lot of teens can relate to that, you know, just sort of a you know, a loneliness trying to fi out where i fit in and who i fit in with and drugs seemed to pave the way, you know, and thats what makes it so dangerous. And youre a dad now. In the book, you talk a lot about the dynamics of being a douglas, the son of your grandfather is a legend. Your father is a ledge jerry legend. Youre the son. You have a daughter now so what does that mean to you . My daughter is amazing. Shes its a whole new depth of love that i never even realized i had within me. A new vel of inspition. And also, you know, you see your parents in a little bit of a different light, right because now you can really relate with them and start to see some of the things that they were going through so its a whole new level of respect for your parents. Yeah, that is the truth and why did you write this book and why release it now . Well, you know, right now were living in a time where, you know, were in an opioid epidemic. You know, this country is just drowning in addiction and, you know, i cant go back and change some of the pain and wreckage that ive caused, but what i can do is try to take that and make it useful, so that was the impetus for this book and thats what i hope it ends up doing. I hope it ends up helping people. Helping other people. What an incredible story but were glad you made it through and youre here with us this morning, cameron. Really do, man. Camerons book, long way homen. Now well go over to you, girng ginger. Thank you so much, michael. Its time for your gma moment. This time from new york.

San francisco voters stopped the sale of flavored ecigarettes. But then juul, backed by big tobacco, wrote prop c to weaken ecigarette protections. The San Francisco chronicle reports prop c is an audacious overreach, threatening to overturn the ban on flavored products approved by voters. Prop c means more kids vaping. Thats a dangerous idea.

Hes the only one who can do it. This. Is the only one who can do this. Is the only one who can do reporter above all nanny announcer this is an abc news special report. Now reporting, george stephanopoulos. Good morning. Were coming on the air right now because President Trump is now speaking in the Reception Room about syria. For the middle east. Its been a long time. Over the last five days, you have seen that a ceasefire that we established along syrias border has held and has held very well beyond most expectations. Early this morning, the government of turkey informed my administration that they would be stopping combat, and their offensive in syria and making the ceasefire permanent, and it will indeed be permanent, however you would also define the word permanent in that part of the world somewhat questionable, i would understand that, but we all believe it will be permanent. I have instructed the secretary of the treasury to lift all sanctions imposed on october 14th in response to turkeys original offensive moves against the kurds in syrias northeast border region. So the sanctions will be lifted unless something happens that were not happy with. This was an outcome created by us, the United States, and nobody else. No other nation, very simple, and were willing to take blame and were also willing to take credit. This is something we have been trying to do for many, many decades. Since then, others have come out to help and we welcome them to do so. Other countries have stepped forward. They want to help, and we think thats great. The nations in the region must ultimately take on the responsibility of helping turkey and syria police their border. We want other nations to get involved. We have secured the oil and therefore a small number of u. S. Troops will remain in the area where they have the oil, and were going to be protecting it, and well be deciding what were going to do with it in the future. In any event, by the moves that we have made, were achieving a much more peaceful and stable area between turkey and syria, including the 20mile wide safe zone. An interesting term, safe zone. Thats the term were using. Hopefully that zone will become safe. Thousands and thousands of people have been killed in that zone over the years, but its been for many, many decades, and i think we have something thats going to be strong and hold up. Turkey, syria and all forms of the kurds have been fighting for centuries. We have done them a great service, and we have done a great job for all of them, a now were getting out. Long time. We were supposed to be there for 30 days. That was almost ten years ago. So were there for 30 days, and now were leaving. Supposed to be a very quick hit, and lets get out, and it was a quick hit, except they stayed for almost ten years. Let someone else fight over this long, bloodstained sand. I want to thank Vice President pence and secretary of state pompeo for leading the american delegation so successfully to turkey several days ago, along with National Security adviser obrien. I want to thank them very much. The american delegation negotiated the original fiveday s ceasefire that ended kurdish fighters to safely leave. It just got them to a point where frankly they were able itenabled them to get out, to go, and move really jt a few miles in a slightly different direction. So this enabled them to do so. Countless lives are now being saved as a result of our negotiation with turkey. An outcome reached without spilling one drop of american blood. No injuries, nobody shot, nobody killed. I have just spoken to genera wonderful man, the commander in chief of the sdf kurds, and he was extremely thankful for what the United States has done. Could not have been more thankful. He has assured me that isis is under very, very strict lock and key, and t detention facilities are being strongly maintained. There were a few that got out, a small number relatively speaking, and they have been largely recaptured. Im also sure that he will be issuing his own statement very shortly. We had a great talk, but we have saved the lives of many, many kus. He understands that. The war was going to be vicious and probably not very long, and im very happy to have been involved in it. As are our Vice President , our secretary of state and all of the other people on our team,. Y by getting that ceasefire to stick, we have done something thats very, very special, but by getting the ceasefire after a tremendous amount of really tough war for a very short period of days, that is something very special. Our troops are safe, and the pain and suffering of the threeday fight that occurred was directly responsible for our ability to make an agreement with turkey and the kurds that could never have been made without this shortterm outburst. Should turkey fail to honor its obligations including the protection of religious and ethnic minorities, which i truly believe they will do, we reserve the right to reimpose crippling sanctions, including substantially increased tariffs on steel and all other products coming out of turkey. We are now an economic powerhouse like never before, and very importantly, like no other. Our economic might is stronger than its ever been, and our competitors are not doing very well. We also expect turkey to abide by its commitment regarding isis. As a backup to the kurds watching over them should something happen, turkey is there to grab them. Further, we implore European Countries to come and take those fighters that the u. S. Captured and bring them back to their countries for incarceration and for trial. Until just recently, europe has been very unresponsive in doing what they should have been doing for a long time. Now is their chance to finally act. American forces defeated 100 of the isis caliphate during the last two years. We thank the syrian efforts. Now turkey, syria and others in the region must work to ensure that isis does not regain any territory. Its their neighborhood. They have to maintain it. They have to take care of it. There were some political pundits who have responded to turkeys offensive in syria. American military intervention, i dont think so, but halting the incursion that requires deploying tens of thousands of american troops against turkey, a nato ally, and a country, the United States has developed a very Good Relationship with. Including president erdogan. The same people that i watched and read giving me the United States advice were the people that have been watching and reading for many years. They are the ones that got us into the middle east mess, but never had the vision or the courage to get us out. They just talk. How Many Americans must die in the middle east in the midst of these ancient sectarian and tribal conflicts . After all of the precious blood and treasure america has poured into the deserts of the middle east, i am committed to pursuing a different course, one that leads to victory for america. Through much work, we have done things that everybody said couldnt be done. Todays announcement rvalidates our course of action with turkey that only a couple of weeks ago was scorned, and now people are saying, wow. What a great outcome. Congratulations. Its too early to me to be ngratula congratulated, but we have done a good job, and we have saved a lot of lives. Most importantly, we have avoided another costly military intervention that could have led to disastrous, farreaching consequences. Many thousands of people could have been killed. In fact, they drew a very powerful red line in the sand. You all remember the red line in the sand, when children were gassed and killed, but then did not honor their commitment as other children died in the same horrible manner. But i did honor my commitments with 58 tomahawks. Eight long years after president obamas illfated push at regime change, u. S. Troops are still on the ground in syria. More than 500,000 people are dead. Hundreds of thousands are terribly injured, and millions more syrians are displaced. It really is a nightmare of mise misery. We have spent 8 trillion in the middle east, never really wanting to win those wars, but after all that money was spent and all those lives lost, the young men and women gravely wounded so many. The middle east is less safe, less stable and less secure than before these conflicts began. The same people pushing for these wars are often the ones demanding america open its doors to unlimited migration from wartorn regions, importing the terrorism and the threat of terrorism right to our own shores, but not anymore. My administration understands that immigration security is National Security. As a candidate for president , i made clear we needed a new approach to American Foreign policy, one guided not by ideology, but experience, and a realistic understanding of the world. We are building up americas military might like never before, investing 2. 5 trillion since my election, but we will not be depleted. We will not happen again. It will not be allowed to happen again. Were a military. It is depleted, fighting in areas of the world where we shouldnt be. When we commit american troops to battle, we must do so only when a Vital National interest is at stake, and when we have a clear objective, a plan for victory and a path out of conflict, thats what we have to have. We need a plan of victory. We will only win. Our whole basis has to be the right plan, and then we will only win. Nobody can beat us. Nobody can beat us. I want to again thank everyone on the American Team who helped achieve the ceasefire in syria. Saved so many lives. Along with president erdogan of turkey, a man i have gotten to know very well, and a man who loves his country, and in his mi mind. I want to thank the general wfo his understanding and his great strength, and for his incredible words today to me, but me just as a representative of the United States because he knows that we saved tens of thousands of kurds, and were not talking in the longterm. Were talking in the shortterm. Were talking something that was going on immediately, and something frankly that was planned for a long time. The job of our military is not to police the world. Other nations must step up and do their fair share. That hasnt taken place. Todays breakthrough is a critical step in that direction. Thank you all very much, and god bless america. Thank you. Thank you. Mr. President. You said that the isis fires escaped today your top aide said thats not true, and you dont know where they are. A lot to unpack there. President trump in the diplomatic Reception Room touting what he called a major breakthrough in syria in middle east. Apparently hes talking about the ceasefire that was first negotiated by his Vice President mike pence, and secretary of state mike pompeo about five days ago. Of course, it comes two weeks to the day that turkey moved into Northern Syria to drive the kurds out. A move that was made possible three days after a phone call between President Trump and president erdogan of turkey where the president made it clear he would not stand in the way of president erdogan of turkey going in to move the kurds out. The president also announcing that in the wake of, again, he called it a major breakthrough, he would lift all sanctions on turkey, a major gift to president erdogan, and this is all setting up a remarkable split screen moment in washington. As the president was speaking we want to show it right here. The president s envoy to syria, jim jeffrey was testifying at the capital. This envoy for syria who was warning about widespread ethnic cleansing of the kurds in that area since the turks have gone and called the situation a tragedy, terribly bad and a dangerous decision. Turkeys part also pointing out that over 100 isis fighters have escaped in recent days. The president said we got them all back, that only a few had gotten out. Ambassador jeffrey did not make that claim, and cecilia vega, our senior white house correspondent, here with me right now. This is unique. Completely unique, in the sense they contradict what is hac happening at this moment on the hill. He said, it will hurt the fight against isis and not be successful. It was said there were war crimes there, george. Theres irony, and this is the president taking credit and praising this ceasefire for a ceasefire that was needed to fight to end fighting that most, even his allies on capitol hill say began because he withdrew these troops there. What i think theyre doing in this white house, if i were to play a little bit of a guessing game, this is the president attempting to take credit for promises kept on the campaign trail. He has been saying he wants to bring these troops home. We know some of them will be staying behind he said there today in these oil fields in that area. The president a few days ago said he didnt think that would be necessary, be the headline is the pushback, and blowback he has faced over this from his own allies on capitol hill. Mcconnell said this was a strategic nightmare for our country, and near unanimous resolution passed in the house condemning him. He has got a lot of problems on his hands here in the home front when he needs those allies given this impeachment inquiry as well. It has been chaotic on the ground and in Northern Syria as well. We want to go to James Longman in the region. According to the president , the general was grateful. We know and we have known that the kurds had seen the move by the white house, by the president as a betrayal and greeted u. S. Fors wices with potatoes. Reporter thats right, george. In the last few moments, we have seen a tweet and he said, i just spoke with President Trump and explained to him the turkish violations of the truth and President Trump promised to remain partnership with the sdf and longterm support. In public the sdf has to thank President Trump because theyre exposed now. We have been speaking to curedish commanders on the front line, the agreement that followed between russia and turkey. The president didnt once mention russia there. The new agreement between turkey and russia allows turkey to keep that 20 miles zone of the border. It further asks the kurds to move out of part of territory, east and west along the border. President erdogan today was
