Oct 23 2019
ARK News: US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said President Donald Trump is ready to use military force against Turkey because of its actions in Syria if necessary.
"We prefer peace over war, but in case of military moving or action, you should know that President Trump is fully prepared to do so," Pompeo said in a recorded interview with CNBC.
Pompeo refused to set a red line for any action that could provoke a US military response.
"He added that I have proposed to use the economic leverage we used." We will certainly use it, in addition to our diplomatic influence, and this is our preferred option.
