Under the terms of the agreement, Kurdish forces would have been allowed to withdraw from an approximately  20-mile “safe zone” along the border. (The creation of such a zone has been a longtime goal of Turkey’s.)  Trump — who agreed to withdraw U.S. forces from Northern Syria after a phone call from Turkey’s president — hailed the agreement on Twitter. “This is a great day for civilization.
