Just hours before meeting with angry congressional leaders to discuss the rapidly unfolding Syria crisis, Donald Trump has already made clear where he stands: 'It's not our problem'
Just hours before meeting with angry congressional leaders to discuss the rapidly unfolding Syria crisis, President Donald Trump has already made clear where he stands: "It's not our problem."
Yet even top Republicans — normally wary of crossing the thin-skinned president — expressed deep dismay over Trump's latest comments, which they viewed as a sign the president is digging in over his controversial move to abruptly upend U.S. foreign policy in the region. “Big, big mistake,” said Sen. Marco Rubio of Trump’s Syria policy. “One thing I’m pretty certain of is that Erdogan is not going to agree to a ceasefire until he’s established control of northern Syria.”
Other Republicans said the meeting with the president on Wednesday could determine the legislative response from Trump’s own party. “I don’t have any kind of idea why the president has had this meeting. Perhaps to inform us of why he made this decision. So we’ll see,” Majority Leader Steny Hoyer said . “It is hard to conceive of an action more helpful to our enemies… This is a betrayal of our allies across the world and the consequences are growing by the day.”
“I’d like to know what the latest is with the ISIS terrorists who are being held in Syria by the Kurds. Do we know their whereabouts? Have some been sent back to their country to be tried?” Minority Whip Steve Scalise told reporters Wednesday. “I want to first hear what their plan is right now. There are still a lot of concerns that we don’t want ISIS to be able to regroup and to be able to come back after we finally had them at bay.
