Defense Secretary Esper on Turkey: ‘We Are Not Abandoning Our Kurdish Partner Forces’

EXCERPT:

ESPER: "To be clear, we are not abandoning our Kurdish partner forces and U.S. troops remain with them in other parts of Syria. The impulsive action of President Erdogan to invade northern Syria has put the United States in a tough situation, given our relationship with our NATO ally Turkey who has fought alongside the United States in the past.”
