In Utterly Disgraceful Syria Address, Trump ‘Congratulates’ Himself On Facilitating Massacre Of Kurds
Donald Trump is lifting sanctions on Ankara less than 24 hours after Vladimir Putin and Recep Tayyip Erdogan struck a deal that mandates the complete withdrawal of Syrian-Kurdish fighters from the country's border with Turkey.
Speaking at the White House, Trump on Wednesday claimed the "ceasefire" Mike Pence struck with Erdogan last week has held "beyond most expectations".
Earlier, the president tweeted the following:
Big success on the Turkey/Syria Border. Safe Zone created! Ceasefire has h
Don’t forget that the Turkey/ Russia agreement states that the Kurds must leave the 20km zone without their weapons.
So Syria now controls its border, and illegal occupation by USA in Northern Syria is reduced.
But we are still occupying Syrian oil fields? The problem with Trump is he is not getting out of Syria as tweeted. Needs to fully remove troops or get Congress to declare war.
