President Trump Wednesday ordered an end to sanctions against Turkey, declaring success for his policy despite a widespread belief among lawmakers of his own party and foreign policy experts that America’s withdrawal from the region has been a victory for Turkey and Russia.
“The sanctions will be lifted unless something happens that we’re not happy with,” Trump said, adding that “this was a situation created by us.” “Let someone else fight over this long-bloodstained sand,” Trump added, although he also said a small number of troops would remain in Syria to secure oil, a goal he often voices when discussing the region.
Trump’s abrupt decision earlier this month to pull a small group of U.S. troops out of northern Syria cleared the way for Turkey to invade the area, driving America’s former allies, the Kurds, to flee territories they had spent years securing. The Kurdish withdrawal also allowed at least some people associated with the Islamic State militias to escape from prisons where they were being guarded by Kurdish forces.
How long will Trump disgrace the Republicans? Democrats can at least say that this is not their guy.
Did Turkey even know about them? If you show Trump to someone for the first time, they will have the impression that he is schizophrenic.
Boom! Cleaning up after Obama.
