Defense Secretary Mark Esper faced tough questions during a meeting on Capitol Hill with Republican lawmakers who have grown frustrated with the Trump administration's policy in Syria, sources say
The sources said the back and forth at the meeting -- hosted by House Minority Whip Steve Scalise, a Louisiana Republican -- was tense at times as members demanded to know what was being done to protect Kurdish allies in Syria and block the resurgence of ISIS."There are a lot of Republicans who don't agree with that policy," one Republican member who was in the meeting told CNN adding that"it was a little heated" at times.
"I wouldn't call it contentious, but our members obviously have a lot of concerns about what happens next." Asked if it was one member being frustrated or many and the person said that"you've seen the statements from members. It's not like there is just one who might have a disagreement.""We all have passions involved to make sure we don't lose the gains that we made in the Middle East and especially with ISIS," the person said.
