The Latest: France, Germany push to stop Turkey offensive

BEIRUT (AP) — The Latest on Turkey’s offensive in Syria (all times local):

8:40 p.m.

France and Germany are stepping up efforts to stop the Turkish offensive against Kurdish-led forces in northern Syria.

French President Emmanuel Macron is holding an emergency security meeting Sunday night to discuss the Turkish invasion, and said he’s working with Germany on unspecified new initiatives to end it.

Speaking Sunday alongside German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Paris, Macron said the Turkish offensive is creating “unsustainable” humanitarian problems and risks “helping the Islamic State group re-emerge in the region.”
