Trump's picks face Senate confirmation hearings for six top administration posts.
Rubio argued that it is important for the United States to continue backing Kurdish fighters in Syria in the aftermath of the collapse of the government regime there. Rubio also said he wanted to make clear to Turkey's president, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, that he 'should not view a transition in power in the U.S. as a window which they could take advantage of to violate whatever agreements were in place' that America has with the Kurds.
Since the Syrian leader Bashar Al-Assad fled his country in December, Kurdish forces there have faced increased pressure from Erdogan, who views them as an extension of Turkey's Kurdish separatist party Kurdistan Workers Party. That party, known by the acronym PKK, is designated a terrorist organization in Turkey. 'Everyone should take their hands off the region,' Erdogan said at a parliamentary group meeting of his AK Party.
