Senator Rand Paul, R-Ky., said that President Trump's Wednesday announcement of a "permanent ceasefire" between Turkey and the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) is an "extraordinary breakthrough." TRUMP ANNOUNCES 'PERMANENT CEASEFIRE' IN SYRIA BETWEEN TURKEY AND KURDS; LIFTS SANCTIONS ON ANKARATrump added that if Turkey breaches the cease-fire, the sanctions could be reimposed. "This is exactly why we must defeat the McConnell resolution," Paul told Hemmer. "This is a war that was started with President Obama getting involved in a senseless way in the Middle East again," Paul concluded. "But now, it looks like we may actually see a realignment and a possible peace plan that will come about because of President Trump's decisive action."
