President Trump is hosting Turkish President Tayyip Erdogan at the White House. The meeting comes after Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria, which cleared the way for Turkey to lead an offensive in the area and which drew bipartisan criticism. Trump and Erdogan are holding a joint press conference Wednesday afternoon.  It is scheduled to start at 3:10 p.m. Watch it live below.
