Erdogan's aggression shows that we cannot trust him with American military equipment, Congressman Frank Pallone tweeted, commenting on Turkey's so-called military "operation" in northern Iraq and Syria.

"Erdogan bombed civilian infrastructure, including a hospital. This is yet another reason why I am working to block the sale of F-16 fighter jets to Turkey. Erdogan's pattern of aggression shows that we cannot trust him with U.S. military equipment," he said.
