Following Trump's order to withdraw U.S. forces, the Kurds have allied with the Iranian and Russian-backed government of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad.

, Burgess attempted to shift blame away from Trump and onto Congress."It's not an ideal outcome but look, this was not just the president," the GOP representative from Texas argued."The Congress had a role here and didn't step up and fulfill it."that Congress had never formally authorized an American offensive in Syria.

"I support the president in his effort to remove the United States from entanglements abroad that have diminished our treasury and sacrificed United States lives," Burgess asserted. Despite Burgess's defense of the president, many leading Republicans in Congress have slammed Trump for withdrawing U.S. troops from Syria. The move has allowedand several ISIS fighters to escape from detention camps. ISIS has also appeared to ramp up attacks in the wake of the American pull-out.

....and Assad to protect the land of our enemy? Anyone who wants to assist Syria in protecting the Kurds is good with me, whether it is Russia, China, or Napoleon Bonaparte. I hope they all do great, we are 7,000 miles away!"Frankly it's weak," Republican Representative Adam Kinzinger of Illinois said during an interview with CBS'on Sunday."I don't see how it follows through on the president's promise, his biggest promise in the campaign, to defeat ISIS.
