Turkish President Tayyip Erdoğan and U.S. President Donald Trump agreed in a phone call overnight to act together regarding the Daesh controlled Syrian towns of al-Bab and Raqqa, Turkish presidential sources said on Wednesday.



The two leaders discussed issues including a safe zone in Syria, the refugee crisis and the fight against terror, the sources said. They said Erdoğan called on the United States not to support the YPG terrorists.



The Turkish sources also said CIA Director Mike Pompeo was to visit Turkey on Thursday to discuss the YPG and battling the network of U.S.-based Fethullah Gülen, head of the FETÖ terrorists organization.
