Conway on Sunday shared screenshots of two tweets posted by Trump that appear to show the president changing his position on Turkey.
Following a phone call with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan last Sunday, Trump announced a surprise decision to pull U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria. The move expectedly drew heavy bipartisan criticism, even from Trump's usually-reliable GOP allies, with some accusing the president of abandoning Kurdish forces who had helped the U.S. defeat the Islamic State in the region.
In a series of tweets on Monday, Trump warned Turkey against taking advantage of the U.S. troop withdrawal. Later, the president explained that his"off limits" tweet was meant to deter Turkey from doing"anything outside of what we would think is humane."on Sunday, Defense Secretary Mark Esper confirmed that 1,000 U.S. troops were being evacuated from the area"as safely and quickly as possible" amid Turkey's military advances against the Kurds.
Trump's first defense secretary, James Mattis, who resigned last year, criticized the withdrawal this week, warning that it could facilitate a possible ISIS resurgence."We may want a war over; we may even declare it over.
