Hours after announcing his decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria — provoking alarm and outrage among foreign-policy experts, Republican officials and right-wing commentators who warn it could empower ISIS in the region — President Trump on Monday defended the move as an expression of his “great and unmatched wisdom.” He coupled it with a warning to “totally destroy and obliterate” the economy of Turkey if he’s unhappy with how they carry out their planned assault on Kurdish fighters.
Trump’s decision, announced by the House late Sunday night, came after a call Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, who for months has been threatening a military operation across the border to clear out the Kurdish forces in Syria. The announcement was met with immediate blowback from some of Trump’s closest allies, who said it will endanger the lives of Kurdish allies who have been fighting the Islamic State group in the region.Nikki Haley, Trump’s former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, said the United States is effectively leaving the Kurds “to die.”
