A Biden and Turkey confrontation over Syrian Kurds is very likely - report

<p style="text-align: left;">The Guardian has reported that if US support for Syrian Kurdish forces continues during Joe Biden's presidency, there is a possibility of confrontation and tension between Turkey and Biden's government.

Almost a year before he was elected President of the United States and ousted Donald Trump, Joe Biden had emphasized his support for the Kurds and the Turkish opposition.

"This could lead to a confrontation between Turkey and the United States under the leadership of Joe Biden," the Guardian reported, citing the possibility of continued US support for the Syrian Kurds.

"Turkey's communication channels with the United States will remain open, but Ankara will closely monitor Biden's foreign policy approach," the daily said.

Referring to the different views of the US and Turkey on the Syrian Kurdish forces, the Guardian wrote: "US Democrats consider the Syrian Kurdish forces to be very effective in the fight against ISIS, while Turkey considers them affiliated with the PKK and" terrorists ". The issue could pave the way for a confrontation between Turkey and Biden.
