According to Kordpress, Bafel Talabani, head of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan, in an interview with Piers Morgan, denied Trump's claim about the theft of weapons sent by the United States and emphasized that no weapons were stolen in Sulaymaniyah, referring to the "two administrations" of the region.

I can't talk about the other places either."

In the continuation of this interview, Piers Morgan asks Bafel Talabani: "Have you stolen?" "No, I really haven't," the patriotic union leader replies. But you know, Kurdistan Region has two regions. We appear to be the government, but we are not the government. We have a government that is not really a government. I can prove to you that no weapons were stolen in Sulaymaniyah."

I think you have friends in the US government who can confirm that, he continues. "I can not speak for the other region."
