Turkey says U.S. has promised to stop arming YPG, warns Washington on ManbijBy Tuvan Gumrukcu and Angus McDowall ANKARA/BEIRUT (Reuters) - The United States has pledged to stop supplying weapons to a Kurdish militia in Syria, Turkey said on Saturday, calling on Washington to immediately remove its troops from a Syrian town of Manbij that Turkish forces plan to target.
