"I've ruled it out. I don't want them to go in. They're willing to do it, but I've told them I don't want it," Trump said, according to CNN, continuing:

The war is complicated enough as it is without the Kurds getting involved.

The statement comes after U.S. media reports that U.S. and Israeli intelligence services are trying to arm and incite Kurdish groups in the region to take up arms against the regime in Tehran.
