President Donald Trump told reporters on Saturday aboard Air Force One that he has told Kurdish fighters not to enter the Iran conflict. He said the Kurds are willing to join but their involvement would make the war more complex. Trump was travelling back to Florida after attending the dignified transfer of remains of six US soldiers killed in Kuwait. He said he did not want to see the Kurds hurt or killed.
