Washington-Based Foundation: Jonathan Schanzer and Kurdish Fighters

washington-based foundation: And when Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan visits the White House on Tuesday, the most he and President Donald Trump may be able to do is agree to disagree, and move on, according to The Chronicle Herald. The Turks see this as a crisis in the relationship, said Jonathan Schanzer at the Washington-based Foundation for Defence of Democracies. The Turks are fiercely opposed to the U.S. plans, seeing the Kurdish fighters as terrorists. The challenge is hardly new. Past administrations have sought a delicate balance. Long before Trump took office, U.S. presidents have grappled with the fragility of partnering with Turkey's government and the Kurds to carry out a Middle East agenda. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
