Turkey-backed forces seized Jarablus from聽Islamic聽State聽militants last week. They have since pushed into areas held by Kurdish-aligned militias that are supported by Washington.
Differences over Syria policy have long complicated the relationship between NATO allies Turkey and the United聽States.
While Turkey is a member of the U.S.-led聽coalition聽against聽Islamic聽State, it is concerned about Washington's support for Syrian Kurdish fighters, which it sees as an extension of Kurdish militants who are waging an insurgency in Turkey.
The United聽States has scrambled to get its feuding allies, Turkey and the Kurdish YPG militia, to focus their firepower on聽Islamic聽State聽instead of each other after clashes that have threatened to unravel U.S. war strategy in Syria.聽
