Turkey has announced that its forces killed 23 Kurdish militants in northern Syria, targeting members of the YPG and PKK. Turkish authorities equate these groups, while the US views the PKK as a terrorist organization and the YPG as allies in the fight against the Islamic State. Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan expressed hope that President Donald Trump would end cooperation with the YPG. Turkey has long demanded that the US withdraw support for the YPG and warns of military intervention if the SDF does not.
