The US is ending military support for Kurdish forces in Syria

The United States is signaling an end to its military support for the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), which were key allies in the fight against ISIS. A top U.S. general visited front lines to ensure a ceasefire, and U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) is seeking to de-escalate tensions between the SDF and the Syrian government's army. The U.S. is now urging the Kurdish forces to integrate with the Syrian government, a major shift in policy that leaves the SDF in a more vulnerable position.
