Abstract

The article discusses the Biden administration's efforts to secure U.S. influence over Rojava, a Kurdish-led region in northeastern Syria facing threats from Turkish-backed militias. The U.S. has supported the Kurds in the past, particularly in the fight against ISIS, but has also maintained reservations about the partnership due to tensions with Turkey. The Biden administration is now working to strengthen ties with the Kurds to influence Syria's political development, despite potential challenges from Turkey and uncertainties surrounding the incoming Trump administration.
