Turkish forces advance on Kurdish city of Kobanî after assuring US they would not

Turkish forces are reportedly advancing on Kobanî after President Trump said he got assurances from Turkish leader Recep Tayyip Erdoğan that the Kurdish city would be off limits.

The city, located in northern Syria, is symbolically important to the Kurds who fought with the United States to destroy the Islamic State’s territorial caliphate. In one of the bloodiest battles in the fight against ISIS, Kobanî was recaptured from the group in 2015, according to Foreign Policy.

During remarks to reporters Monday, Vice President Mike Pence said that Erdoğan gave Trump a “firm commitment” that Turkey would not launch an offensive against the Kurdish-controlled city of Kobanî.

Sen. Lindsey Graham warned Turkey Wednesday about encroaching on the city, noting that he was on Trump’s Monday phone call with the Turkish president.

Trump doesn't care, not if it spares him one more visit to Dover Air Force Base.
