Nauert: US has a lot to discuss with Turkey
United States has a lot to discuss with Turkey and Afrin is one of the issues, State Department spokeswoman said.

U.S. State Department spokeswoman Heather Nauert said that Afrin will be one of the issue during the meetings between Turkish and American envoys this week.

Asked about if Afrin is on the agenda of the meetings Nauers said, “I imagine that that will be one of those issues” to be discussed. I think that would not be a surprise."

“We obviously have a lot we have to discuss with the Turks. We have a lot of issues before us right now,” she said.

Turkish and U.S. officials began the meetings in Washington on Thursday. Nauert said that the initial talks were led on the U.S. side, which comprised about two dozen officials, by Acting Assistant Secretary Wess Mitchell.
