Summary
Donald Trump declared on Truth Social that the U.S. “should have nothing to do with” Syria, sparking criticism from experts.
Critics noted that 900 U.S. troops are currently stationed there, assisting Kurdish forces to prevent an ISIS resurgence.
Experts fear Trump may withdraw these troops, potentially destabilizing the region.
Analysts warn this stance reflects a shift toward a reduced U.S. global influence, with some seeing it as a preview of a post-American global security order.
Critics also question Trump’s understanding of U.S. involvement in Syrian affairs.
We didn’t want to get involved in Syria, but we literally couldn’t avoid it because the US created ISIS, a group that was born in the power vacuum left in the aftermath of the Iraq war.
they literally funded them with weapons and training, they are supporting kurds only to buy oil at cheap costs.
Correction: The US created and still supports ISIS.
