A trusted source revealed that Trump thanked the Kurdish forces for their assistance in the region and did not discuss any covert CIA operations. The source also confirmed that there were only two phone calls made to Kurdish leaders by Trump and that claims of pressure from the US to invade Iran are false. The source was granted permission to speak to Sky News to counter misleading reports in the American media.
