US Republicans seek sanctions on Turkey over Syria
Republicans in the US House of Representatives have announced plans to introduce a sanctions bill against Turkey for its offensive in Syria.
Congresswoman Liz Cheney said Turkey must face "serious consequences for mercilessly attacking our Kurdish allies" in the region.
It comes as President Donald Trump said he hoped to mediate in the conflict.
Turkey moved into northern Syria on Wednesday after the president pulled US troops out of the area.
Tens of thousands of civilians fled their homes on the second day of the offensive.
