"We prefer peace to war ... But if military action is needed, then you should know that President Trump is fully prepared to take such steps," he said in an interview with CNBC.
Pompeo declined to explain what actions might lead to a military response from the United States.
The Secretary of State did not hide that the United States will use economic and diplomatic measures to achieve the desired results.
Turkey’s military operation "Source of Peace" began in the northeast of the SAR on October 9. On October 17, Ankara and Washington agreed to suspend hostilities in Syria to allow Kurdish forces to leave the security zone.
Pompeo later noted that the main points of the agreement between Washington and Ankara on the cessation of hostilities in Syria began to operate.
On October 20, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan threatened to resume a military operation in Syria if the United States did not fulfill its obligations.
