I thank the minister for her outline of what the government has done. Whilst the military action has been launched by Turkey, it has been enabled by the decision of the Trump administration to withdraw US forces from northern Syria.

Could the minister advise what representations were made to the US about the impact of its decision to withdraw forces from northern Syria?
