President Trump just announced a ‘permanent’ ceasefire between Turkey and Syria. He also announced that sanctions will be lifted from Ankara, Turkey.
Fox 5 DC reports:
Claiming success at the U.S.-brokered effort, Trump said Wednesday, “this was an outcome created by us.”
The cease-fire required Kurdish forces formerly allied with the U.S. against the Islamic State group to move out of a roughly 20-mile (32-kilometer) zone on the Turkish border.
President Trump spoke about the ceasefire moments ago:
“This was an outcome created by us, the United States and nobody else.” – President Trump
“Early this morning, the government of Turkey informed my administration they would be stopping combat and their offensive in Syria and making the ceasefire permanent.” – @realDonaldTrumphttps://t.co/IM8A06I0qT

Will the neocons admit they were wrong? Probably not.
Our favorite statement on the news of the ceasefire:
Hey @NobelPrize people – you paying attention to Syria?
Bc one man deserves some recognition for ending 8 years of bloodshed
And it’s not Barack Obama
