The Trump administration's latest actions have raised some questions from the U.S. Congress members, who said that it is not enough to halt Turkey from advancing its military actions.

"President Trump has unleashed an escalation of chaos and insecurity in Syria. His announcement of a package of sanctions against Turkey falls very short of reversing that humanitarian disaster," said U.S. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi in a statement.

"I am gravely concerned by recent events in Syria and by our nation's apparent response thus far," said Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell in a statement.

Abandoning the fight against the IS now and withdrawing U.S. forces from Syria would "re-create the very conditions that we have worked hard to destroy and invite the resurgence of ISIS," he added.

It has been reported that the two chambers are readying bills to sanction and potentially ban U.S. arms exports to Turkey, a NATO ally, to punish it over military operations in northern Syria.
