Trump Warns Turkey Not to Harm Kurds After U.S. Quits Syria

In a Sunday-night tweet, Trump said his government was starting the “long overdue pullout” from Syria while hitting the “little remaining” Islamic State “territorial caliphate” and would attack again from a nearby existing base if the jihadist group regroups. “The U.S. is withdrawing from northeast Syria in a strong, deliberate and coordinated manner, and seeks to ensure that the forces that have fought alongside coalition partners in the campaign against ISIS are not mistreated,” an administration official said following the president’s tweet.
