Parties "discussed detailed proposals to enhance Turkey's security along the Turkish border in northeast Syria," said the statement.
In January, Trump proposed the establishment of the safe zone as a solution to ease tensions between Turkey and the U.S.-backed Kurdish militia.
This was the fifth meeting of a U.S.-Turkey joint working group which aims to eliminate differences in Syria and to have progress on the issues of Manbij deal and a possible safe zone in northern Syria.
Turkey and the U.S. exchanged several proposals but the parties could not narrow the main differences so far. Ankara wants to have full control of the safe zone after all the YPG forces are withdrawn and all their facilities are destroyed.
Turkey wants a 30-40 km depth of the safe zone under Turkish military control so that no YPG troops can attack the Turkish border.
However, Washington earlier proposed around 10 km-deep safe zone with no permanent deployment of Turkish troops.
