Yep, thus this is a bit misleading: "With the Trump administration poised to pull U.S. troops out of his country" Also negotiations Damascus-Kurds came after statement by Assad, not in response to Trump statement 'I leave Syria statement' which was in April.

For some, a US withdrawal and regime-YPG reconciliation is wishful thinking.

I don’t. US has too much invested already and ISIS is a long way from defeated. When even McGurk talks about prolonged US presence you know withdrawal is a fantasy. But one assiduously pushed by Assadists in DC now.
