WASHINGTON DC (Kurdistan24) – State Department Deputy Spokesperson Robert Palladino affirmed on Tuesday that US troops would remain in the planned safe zone in northeastern Syria, even after the bulk of those forces are withdrawn.

Kurdistan 24 asked Palladino to clarify the remarks of Amb. James Jeffrey the day before, when Jeffrey, Special Representative for Syria Engagement and Special Envoy for the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS, said there would be “no YPG (People’s Protection Units) forces” in the safe zone, while the mission of the remaining US forces was “not to operate in any safe zone.”

So what force (or forces) is supposed to ensure the safety of the safe zone?
