BEIRUT, LEBANON (9:10 P.M.) - U.S. President Donald Trump is allegedly re-evaluating the rapid pullout of his nation's troops from Syria, Senator Linsdey Graham claimed on CNN.
The Senator warned Trump that removing the U.S. troops from Syria would allow for the Islamic State (ISIS/ISIL/IS/Daesh) to rebuild in Syria, while adding that this pull-out would be betraying their Kurdish allies on the ground.
The South Carolina Republican said he would ask Trump “to sit down with his generals and reconsider how to do this. Slow this down. Make sure we get it right. Make sure ISIS never comes back. Don’t turn Syria over to the Iranians.”
“I want to fight the war in the enemy’s backyard, not ours,” Graham said in an interview on CNN’s State of the Union show.
Graham praised Trump, who visited U.S. troops in Iraq last week, for announcing that a U.S. force would remain there.
But he said ISIS, while holding only slivers of territory, remained a potent threat in northeastern Syria.
“That’s why we need to keep some of our troops there,” he said.
