Mnuchin Defends Inaction On ‘Complicated Situation’ In Syria. Congress Asks ‘For God’s Sake, What Are They Waiting For?’
Steve Mnuchin was at pains on Sunday to explain why, exactly, Treasury hasn't yet pulled the trigger on sanctions against Turkey amid an ongoing massacre in northern Syria.
“Let me just say this is a complicated, developing situation. You have a NATO ally on one hand fighting against the Kurds who were helping us with the fight against ISIS", he told ABC’s Jon Karl.
"We are in daily communications with Turkey, both at the Defense Department, the State Department, on very specific issues",
“The president has authorized me to effectively shut down the entire Turkey economy and we can do that at a moment’s notice.” Yeah, right. Putz.
Raped and stoned to death actually.
