In the statement made by the US Department of Defense (Pentagon), the cooperation with the PKK specified.

“Consistent with that policy, we’re reviewing pending adjustments to the military support provided to our Kurdish partners [in the SDF], in as much as the military requirements of our defeat-ISIS and stabilization efforts will allow us to prevent ISIS from returning,” Manning said. “We remain very clear in that we are going to continue to target ISIS and remain committed to protecting our NATO ally Turkiye.”

Weapons provided to the SDF are limited and mission specific, the Pentagon said.
