Vice President Mike Pence announced Thursday that Turkey had agreed to a ceasefire in Northern Syria after hours of negotiations with Turkish officials.
Turkey agreed to suspend military operations for 120 hours while the United States helps orchestrate a withdrawal of Kurdish YPG forces from the proposed Turkish safe zone, after which a permanent ceasefire will begin.
"I spoke to President Trump just a few moments ago, and I know the president is very grateful for President Erdogan's willingness to step forward," Pence said in the announcement.
