Vice President Mike Pence said that the Kurds know the United States stands with them even after the U.S. military largely withdrew from Syria under orders from President Donald Trump.

Pence made a surprise visit to Iraq over the weekend and met with some Kurds there. The Iranian ethnic group has pockets in Syria, Iran, Iraq, and Turkey.
