Trumps says U.S. will stop arming Kurdish forces: Turkey official
President Trump  told his Turkish counterpart Friday that the U.S. would no longer supply weapons to Syrian Kurdish fighters  a Turkish official said.
â Mr. Trump  clearly stated that  he  had given clear instructions and that the YPG wonât be given arms and that this nonsense should have ended a long time ago â said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu who claimed to have been in the room with President Recep Tayyip Erdogan during the call.
The White House read-out of the call was vague on the subject  saying  Trump  informed Erdogan of âpending adjustments to the military support provided to our partners on the ground in Syria.â

If  Trump  is planning to cut off arms shipments to the YPG   it  would amount to an abrupt policy reversal.
