Trump just tweeted this "Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from texisting nearby base if it reforms. Will devastate turkey economically if they hit Kurds. Create a 20-mile safe zone...likewise do not want the kurds to provoke turkey. Russia, Iran, and Syria have been the biggest beneficiaries of the long term US policy of destroying ISIS in syria - natural enemies. We also benefit but it is now time to bring our troops back home. Stop the endless wars"
The thing that I don't get is, what counts as provoking? Kurdish existence in northern syria is a provocation in and of itself, just think that this is shortsighted.
