Hollen said: "Just got out of a bipartisan meeting with the SDC Executive Committee President Ilham Ahmed—the highest political representative of the Syrian Kurds. She described the horrible situation that demands action. We stand with Ilham during her emergency mission to ask Congress to act.

 

ENSURING AIR SUPPORT

 

After our meeting with Ilham Ahmed, we’re even more worried about the situation unfolding in northeastern Syria. Right now, Congress must come together to maintain an adequate U.S. troops in Syria, ensure air support, and impose sanctions against Turkey."
