A group of U.S. Democratic and Republican senators have asked the State Department to expedite a travel visa for a commander of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), so that he can brief lawmakers in Washington about the situation in Syria.
In an October 23 letter, Republican Senators Lindsey Graham and Marsha Blackburn and Democrats Chris Van Hollen, Jeanne Shaheen, and Richard Blumenthal wrote to Secretary of State Mike Pompeo asking him to quickly provide a visa for the commander, General Mazloum Kobani.
