You know man, I don’t know what’s going on with Donald Trump.
But I’m not celebrating anything he says until he starts doing things he says.
President Donald Trump said Thursday that the United States will end its military presence in Syria “very soon”—contradicting his secretaries of state and defense, who have said U.S. troops should stay in the Arab country for the foreseeable future.
Trump’s declaration was just the latest instance in which the president has publicly undercut or defied his foreign policy team, to the frustration and confusion of U.S. officials and America’s allies.
Speaking in Ohio Thursday, Trump boasted that U.S. is winning its battle against the Islamic State terrorist group, and vowed that once the fight is finished, American troops will leave Syria. The Pentagon has acknowledged a presence of about 2,000 troops in Syria, many of them Special Forces working closely with Kurdish and Arab militias against ISIS, which has lost nearly all its captured territory in the country over the past year.
“We’re knocking the hell out of ISIS. We’ll be coming out of Syria, like, very soon,” the president said during an event in Ohio. “Let the other people take care of it now.”
“We got to get back to our country where we belong, where we want to be,” he added.
Of course I’m happy to hear him say he’s planning to get out of Syria, because I really want out of Syria. But you know, over the last couple of weeks, Trump has done the opposite of what he said he was doing on about six major issues, including the biggest issues of all – the wall and peace with Russia.
So I’m not taking this as truthful or meaningful.
