TURKEY brushed off today US President Donald Trump’s Sunday night threat to economically “devastate” the country should it attack Syria’s Kurds.

The US president took to Twitter late on Sunday to admonish the Nato ally, which is reportedly amassing its military forces near the Syrian border.

Mr Trump wrote: “[We are] starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining Isis territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. [We] will attack again from existing nearby [bases] if it reforms.
