“They – Turkey – have taken steps on every aspect of our anti-ISIL coalition, which is not just military,” said State Department spokeswoman Jen Psaki. “It is also cracking down on foreign fighters. It‘s also about financing. It‘s also about delegitimizing ISIL.”

Psaki‘s comments came after Director of U.S. National Intelligence James Clapper told a Senate committee on Thursday that Turkey does not place a high priority on fighting Daesh – leading to a flow of foreign fighters through its country into Syria.
