U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday the cease-fire in northern Syria has held nicely and hailed his relationship with his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Turkey recently launched Operation Peace Spring on Oct. 9 as the third in a series of Turkish cross-border anti-terror operations in northern Syria targeting terrorists affiliated with Daesh and the PKK's Syrian offshoot the YPG.
