Earlier Wednesday, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt denied a CNN report that the Trump administration was planning to arm Kurdish fighters.

“[President Trump] did speak to [Iraqi] Kurdish leaders with respect to our base that we have in northern Iraq. But as for any report suggesting that the president has agreed to any such plan is completely false and should not be reported,” Leavitt said.
