President Donald Trump's abrupt decision to pull U.S. forces out of northeast Syria stunned the Kurds, who for the past three years have been America's partner in fighting the Islamic State group.

The U.S. armed the Kurdish militia, along with some Syrian Arabs and Christian Assyrians, and backed them with U.S. troops and airpower. (AP Photo/Hussein Malla, File)
