Turkey seeks pact with Syria, Iraq, and Jordan against ISIS, pressuring U.S. to cut ties with Kurdish militants.

Turkey plans to join forces with Syria, Iraq, and Jordan to combat the remnants of the Islamic State group, potentially allowing the U.S. to end support for Kurdish militants in Syria. Turkey opposes the U.S.-backed Kurdish-led forces, known as the YPG, viewing them as linked to the PKK, a terrorist group. The YPG has been key in fighting ISIS and guards ISIS prisoners. Turkey calls for U.S. President Trump to stop supporting Kurdish fighters.
