The military leader of the Kurds in Syria has thanked U.S. President Donald Trump after a permanent ceasefire between Turkey, Syria, and the Kurds was announced.
“I just spoke with President Trump and explained to him the Turkish violations of the truce that would not have been possible without his great efforts,” Gen. Mazloum Abdi, the top commander of the Syrian Defense Forces (SDF), said in an Oct. 23 statement.
