Facing mounting criticism for the pull-out of U.S. troops from Syria that preceded Turkey's ongoing military assault, the Trump administration is on the defensive.

特朗普政府备受各方谴责，因为美军从叙利亚撤军后，土耳其就对叙利亚发起了军事袭击。特朗普政府现在处于防御状态。

Speaking to reporters outside the White House late Monday, Vice President Mike Pence pushed back on the charge that President Trump gave Turkey the go-ahead for its offensive.

周一晚些时候，在白宫外接受记者采访时，副总统迈克·彭斯反击了一些人的说法——是特朗普政府允许土耳其发动进攻的。

The United States of America did not give a green light to Turkey to invade Syria. Pence added that in a call with Turkish leader Erdogan earlier Monday Trump called for an immediate end to Turkey's military action in Syria.

美国并没有给土耳其进攻叙利亚开绿灯。彭斯补充说，在与土耳其总统埃尔多安周一早些时候的通话中，特朗普呼吁土耳其立刻停止在叙利亚的军事行动。
