It was March 29, a brisk spring day in Ohio, and President Donald Trump was speaking about his infrastructure plan to a crowded arena. But the comment that grabbed many people’s attention was not about roads or bridges. It was on Syria, and Trump’s message was simple: U.S. troops would soon be packing up their bundles and coming home.
“We’re knocking the hell out of ISIS,” he said. “We’ll be coming out of Syria like very soon. Let the other people take care of it now.” A week later, at the White House, he told his national security team that he wanted U.S. forces to pull out as soon as the mission could be declared a success, writes Daniel DePetris.
