The United States has broken with Obama administration policy and will provide weapons and ammunition to Syrian Kurdish fighters who will be part of the force that will soon begin an assault on the ISIS capital of Raqqa, Syria, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

President Trump approved the new policy Monday in order to “ensure a clear victory over ISIS in Raqqa,” chief Pentagon spokeswoman Dana White said in statement.
