It's a hot new trend. But it's still off limits.

A bill was introduced in the House on Monday to keep the government running through Dec. 20.

The U.S. continues to support the Syrian Democratic Forces, officials said.

Top brass weren't blindsided by recent events, officials now say.

The stop comes in response to threats from Turkey.

The Pentagon came out in opposition to Turkey's plan to invade northeastern Syria.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper has also put an unspecified number of U.S. troops on "Prepare To Deploy Orders."

Pentagon chief spokesman Jonathan Hoffman's predecessors had not held an on-the-record briefing since May 2018.

The move will not, however, prevent the Defense Department from moving forward with the plan.

The president was in New York City when the World Trade Center was hit.
