Pulse Insider: Sen. Rounds on U.S. Commitment to the Kurds

In this Pulse Insider clip, Senator Mike Rounds speaks about the Biden administration’s ongoing commitment to the Kurdish people, describing their protection as a key concern for U.S. foreign policy. Rounds, a senior member of the Senate Armed Services Committee, emphasized that Washington continues to value the strategic alliance with Kurdish forces — especially in the fight against terrorism and in maintaining regional stability.

Speaking from Capitol Hill, Sen. Rounds highlighted recent engagements with Kurdish leaders and U.S. defense officials, saying the administration is actively involved in discussions on how to ensure the safety and security of Kurdish communities across the region.

The senator’s remarks come at a time when questions remain about the future of U.S. involvement in the Middle East and the ongoing tensions between Kurdish authorities and neighboring states. Rounds reaffirmed that protecting Kurdish allies is not only a matter of military cooperation but a reflection of shared values.

As regional dynamics shift, Pulse Insider explores what this commitment means — and whether U.S. support for the Kurds will remain consistent in the months ahead.
