Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan said Wednesday he would end Turkey’s offensive in northeastern Syria if Kurdish forces there surrender their weapons and pull out of a planned “safe zone.”

Erdoğan warned that Ankara’s operation would not end until his conditions are met and that he is not willing to negotiate, according to Reuters. He gave the Kurdish groups until Wednesday evening to meet his demands.

The Turkish offensive has sparked bipartisan backlash in Washington, with several lawmakers on Capitol Hill saying they’ll introduce sanctions legislation against Ankara.

The sanctions include an increase on steel tariffs from 25 percent to 50 percent and a halt in trade negotiations with Turkey.

“Turkey’s military offensive is endangering civilians and threatening peace, security, and stability in the region,” said Trump. “I have been perfectly clear with President Erdoğan: Turkey’s action is precipitating a humanitarian crisis and setting conditions for possible war crimes.”

“I am fully prepared to swiftly destroy Turkey’s economy if Turkish leaders continue down this dangerous and destructive path.”

However, Trump is also taking heat from Capitol Hill, with lawmakers saying his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northeastern Syria removed the chief deterrent to Turkey’s operation and put Kurdish groups who fought with the U.S. against ISIS at risk. Ankara has accused Kurds in Syria of being linked to an anti-Turkish insurgency and has long sought to push them farther from the Turkey-Syria border.

Turkey has shown no signs of letting up, with Syrian fighters backed by Ankara saying Tuesday they would continue their advance toward the city of Manbij, a key flashpoint west of the Euphrates River.

A Reuters cameraman also reported heavy bombing of the Syrian border town of Ras al Ain, where a spokesman for the Syrian Democratic Forces, a group largely made up of Kurdish fighters, reported a battle was taking place.
