The commander of the Syrian Kurdish forces in the northern part of the country condemned President Trump’s decision to remove U.S. soldiers from the area.

“You are not willing to protect the people, but you do not want another force to come and protect us,” Gen. Mazloum Kobani Abdi, who leads the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces, said Saturday, days after President Trump announced the withdrawal of American troops from northern Syria. “You have sold us. This is immoral.”
