The United States and Turkey will establish a joint operation center on Syria, U.S. Department of State spokeswoman Morgan Ortagus said.

"While there are additional details that need to be worked out, we are encouraged by the initial steps that came out of these talks. A U.S.-Turkey joint operation center will be established in Turkey to continue planning and implementation. We look forward to continuing our work with our partners on this important matter to achieve peace and security in northeast Syria," she told the briefing.
