VOA常速英语:美国撒手不管叙利亚 将锅甩给土耳其

This is VOA news. I'm Joe Parker.
The Trump administration is pressing Turkey to end its military action in Syria.
AP correspondent Mike Gracia reports.

Facing mounting criticism for the pull-out of U.S. troops from Syria that preceded Turkey's ongoing military assault, the Trump administration is on the defensive.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House late Monday, Vice President Mike Pence pushed back on the charge that President Trump gave Turkey the go-ahead for its offensive.
The United States of America did not give a green light to Turkey to invade Syria. Pence added that in a call with Turkish leader Erdogan earlier Monday Trump called for an immediate end to Turkey's military action in Syria.
Mike Gracia, Washington.
And the administration now puts the blame on Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan for the resurgence of Islamic State, a growing humanitarian crisis and possible war crimes.
