The commander-in-chief of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), Gen Mazloum Abdi, appeals to Donald Trump to maintain US troop presence in northeastern Syria.
Abdi warns that withdrawal of the 2,000 US troops could lead to the resurgence of the Islamic State and instability in the region.
He noted that IS has been gaining strength by seizing arms from the collapsing Assad regime, increasing pressure from Turkey.
The situation has become precarious due to Turkey's threats against Kurdish forces and a new government in Syria post-Assad.
Abdi calls for European support, emphasizing the SDF's role in fighting IS and the potential chaos that a US withdrawal could unleash.
