The U.S. embassy in Turkey denied Turkish media reports that the United States had sent tanks and hundreds of truckloads of weapons into Syria to support the YPG terrorists.

In a statement posted on social media, the embassy said the U.S. has not provided tanks to any groups fighting Daesh in Syria, and the vast majority of trucks crossing the Iraqi-Syrian border did not contain military equipment or supplies.
