Doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

The U.S.-backed force has been instrumental in fighting the Islamic State group and pushing them out of northern Syria, including in Manbij.

How can Trump be so blind.

Turkey invaded the Afrin area of Syria, kicked out or kidnapped to Turkey any Kurdish fighters who had been protecting Afrin from both Assad and ISIS. Then this week he moved harvesting equipment into the Afrin area and harvested the Afrin people’s wheat harvest, to ship it to Turkey.

Erdogan is an Islamist megalomaniac we should not be making any deals with. Unless Erdogan is voted out of office - not remotely likely, Turkey should be kicked out of NATO and we should not be doing deals with it that mere help protect its genocidal actions against the Kurds.

Syrian Civil War Map‏ @CivilWarMap · Jun 8
The commander of Manbij Military Council Muhammad Mustafa / Abu Adel says that the MMC will not allow any external forces to enter Manbij or interefere in the internal affairs of Manbij.

I suspect Turkey is overstating tHe deal.
US has said that Turkey was originally promised control of area west of Euphrates. So a buffer zone arounf Manbij is a gain for the Kurds.
