"Unfortunately, our friend from NATO, the United States, continues to deliver trucks and arms to the terrorists [YPG]. This is our source of concern… We will not allow to build a terrorist corridor in northern Syria that leads to the Mediterranean Sea. We will take all the necessary measures if there is such a threat," Erdogan said during the televised conference.

In late November, US President Donald Trump said in a telephone conversation with Erdogan that all US deliveries of weapons to the YPG would be halted.
