Did Trump kill the Kurdish dream?

How the Kurds were betrayed by the US.

The Kurds are an ethnic group living in the north of Syria and in neighbouring Iran, Iraq and Turkey. Since the conflict in Syria started almost nine years ago they’ve been fighting to establish their own state in northern Syria. The US allied with the Kurds to defeat ISIS and supported the Kurdish cause. That was until President Trump announced he was pulling US troops out of Syria leaving the Kurds exposed to the threat of the Turkish army, the Kurds’ political enemy.
In this episode we speak to ´óÏó´«Ã½ journalists Jiyar Gol and Charlotte Pamment, who have been to Syria to find out what will happen to the Kurds.
