U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo's readout of a meeting he had with his Turkish counterpart was not reflective of the actual language used in the meeting, Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlüt Çavuşoğlu said Thursday.In a statement provided by the State Department on behalf of the secretary, Pompeo said he warned Çavuşoğlu about 'the potentially devastating consequences of unilateral Turkish military action' in the region.'With regards to this readout, I was there and we know what we talked, and such language was never used, in Syria particularly they never mentioned such things about the unilateral actions of Turkey,' Çavuşoğlu told reporters at a news conference in Washington.
