U.S. forces will not defend Kurdish forces in Syria - U.S. official

The United States informed the commander of the Kurdish-led SDF forces in Syria on Monday morning that U.S. forces will not defend them from Turkish attacks anywhere, a U.S. official told Reuters ahead of an expected Turkish offensive.

The official said U.S. forces had evacuated two observation posts at Tel Abyad and Ras al-Ain in northeast Syria, along the Turkish border. The other U.S. forces in the region were still in position, for now, the official said.
