Trump to Turks: Kurd aid to end

PRESIDENT TRUMP told his Turkish counterpart Friday that the U.S. would no longer supply weapons to Syrian Kurdish fighters, a Turkish official said.

The Turks view the militia, known as the YPG, as terrorists, while the U.S. has treated the fighters as an ally in the fight against the Islamic State. “Mr. Trump clearly stated that he gave clear instructions and that the YPG won’t be given arms and that this nonsense should have ended a long time ago,” said Turkish Foreign Minister Mevlut Cavusoglu.

The White House read-out of the call said Trump told Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan about “adjustments” to military support on the ground in Syria. A REAL estate deal from 1991 is the earliest instance of President Trump’s name appearing in the Panama Papers, the trove of leaked files detailing the ways the world’s rich hide their assets.

The discovery, flagged by reporter Jake Bernstein on Friday, involves a condo sale at the Trump Palace to a shady firm called Process Consultants Inc.

The sale is among the thousands of files that were leaked from Mossack Fonseca, a Panamanian law firm that sold anonymous shell companies around the globe.
