General Mattis recently gave a statement concerning this.
It is not just the U.S. supporting this recognition.
The defeat of ISIS in Syria came at a high price in lives of Kurds, Arabs and Assyrians who actually fought the battles with our support. That must not be lost after ISIS's defeat, by entering another open conflict.
It is clear that the US and Russia both want stability to return.

Turkey is the only reason we haven’t given the “ok” to the formation of a Kurdistan. The upper hand that they held with previous presidents has flipped. Trump, you magnificent bastard, you’ve done it again!
