President Trump said a delegation including Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will head to Turkey on Wednesday to get Turkey to end the fighting in Syria.

“We’re asking for a ceasefire,” the president said Tuesday during a White House event celebrating Stanley Cup champs the St. Louis Blues.

The president said his administration is being tough on Turkey and other countries.

“They have to maintain their properties now. They have to maintain peace and safety,” he said.

Trump also signaled that more sanctions might be needed if Turkey doesn’t negotiate a ceasefire.

“We put the strongest sanctions you can imagine, but we have a lot in store if they don’t have an impact, including massive tariffs on steel,” the president said.

He also repeated the sentiments that he wants to end the US involvement in “endless wars.”

“We want to bring our soldiers back home after so many years. They’re the greatest warriors in the world. They’re policing, they’re not a police force. They’re a different type of force,” he said.

Turkish forces swept into Syria last week days after Trump told President Recep Tayyip Erdogan that he would withdraw US troops from the area.

Erdogan said he wants to create a buffer area in northern Syria and targeted Kurdish fighters who fought alongside US troops to defeat the Islamic State.

Ankara considers the Kurds terrorists aligned with an insurgent group that has been fighting the government for decades inside Turkey.
