"Kobane is hoping to meet with France’s President Emmanuel Macron in Paris this week, they said. However, Trump administration officials are opposed to the meeting taking place ahead of an official trip by Macron to Damascus that is expected next month, the sources said. Neither side has officially announced the trip.
The concern is that Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa would consider a Macron-Kobane meeting as evidence that France holds the Syrian Kurdish commander as equal to himself and “this would infuriate him,” one of the sources said."
