A new reports claims President Trump has sent weapons and ammunition to Kurdish allies in Syria, according to Turkish media on Sunday.
The U.S. is said to have delivered 150 truckloads of military equipment to the Kurdish YPG fighters, which is expected to help the Kurds defend themselves against ISIS, and a possible Turkish offensive.
This follows the U.S. announcement of a withdrawal of troops from Syria, with European nations expected to boost presence in the country.
For their part, Kurdish officials say they will not cede control over border regions to Turkey. A top Kurdish-led administration official in Syria saying cooperation will be required to keep terror networks designated to one area, and to “annihilate” them “once and for all.”
Reports also allege U.S. forces will leave Syria in sixty-to-100 days, but will likely continue sending supplies to Kurdish allies from Iraq.
