Turkey within Trump red line, US seeking ceasefire: official

Turkey's assault on Syrian Kurdish forces has not breached a red line declared by President Donald Trump, a US official said Thursday, as he added that Washington wanted to broker a ceasefire.

Trump, in a week of mixed messages, initially voiced understanding for Turkey before criticizing the offensive and warning of sanctions if the operation is not "humane."

Asked to define what actions would violate Trump's vague warning, the US official said they would include "ethnic cleansing... indiscriminate artillery, air and other fires directed at civilian populations."

"That is what we're looking at right now. We have not seen significant examples of that so far, but we're very early," the official told reporters on condition of anonymity.
