“Once again, President
Trump is deserting an ally in a foolish attempt to appease an authoritarian
strongman”, said Democratic Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi, in a statement
released on Monday against Trump’s decision to withdraw from Syria, dpa
reported.
She slammed the United
State President for callously abandoning the Kurds whom she called the U.S
partners, and called for a reversal of the decision.
Also, Republican leader in
the Senate, Mitch McConnell, said the decision would reverse progress already
made in the region, warning the withdrawal would benefit Russia, Iran, and the
Syrian government while allowing the return of the Islamic State.
“American interests are
best served by American leadership, not by retreat or withdrawal,” McConnell,
popularly regarded as Trump’s most important ally in Congress, is quoted in a
statement.
The Senate majority leader
said there was a super majority in Congress supporting a continued military
presence in north-east Syria.
