Lawmakers urge Trump to protect Kurds after US withdrawal
Defense News: Two senators — one who represents the largest population of Kurds in the U.S. and the other a combat-wounded Iraq veteran — are urging President Donald Trump to protect Kurdish fighters in Syria after American troops withdraw.
In a letter obtained by Defense News dated Jan. 31, 2019, Sens. Marsha Blackburn, R-Tenn., and Tammy Duckworth, D-Ill., called on Trump to prevent a war between Turkey and Syrian Kurdish forces who fought alongside the U.S. against the Islamic State group.
