Trump orders Turkey sanctions; US scrambles for Syria exit

UPDATE: Vice President Mike Pence says he's being dispatched to the Middle East by President Donald Trump as U.S. troops pull out of northeast Syria and Turkish forces invade.

Pence says Trump spoke with Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdogan earlier Monday and called for an immediate end to Turkey's moves against the Kurds in Syria.

Pence says the president is "very concerned about instability in the region" and is denying that Trump gave Turkey the green light to launch the invasion when he announced a troop pullout.

Pence says the U.S. is "simply not going to tolerate Turkey's invasion of Syria any longer."

Tell Erdogan you'll sic mama on him.

The only Turkey that should be sanctioned is Trump.
