Brett McGurk added "Most of our time was spent in Ankara, because most of the material coming to fuel ISIS was machine, frankly, was coming from across the border from Turkey into Syria, it was very frustrating because Turkey didn't take much action on the border"

Brett McGurk said in an interview-CNN Video with Former US envoy: 'ISIS is not defeated' - President Trump's lack of planning in Syria is "increasing the risk" to US forces on the ground, says Brett McGurk, former special envoy for the anti-ISIS coalition

McGurk, who resigned because of US President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw from Syria, he said IS has not defeated yet.

"The United States can help Turkey protect its borders, but the current solution for the entry of the Turkish army and the Turkish-backed militants into areas that are under the control of Turkey," McGurk said in an article to the Washington Post on Turkey's "security concerns" to Syria's democratic forces in the north and east of Syria, will accelerate the spread of chaos and create an environment that allows the "prosperity of the extremists" and IS threat of renewed threat to the United States and the European partners and then to the United States itself.
