Trump Snubs Corker By Canceling Meeting

President Trump “delivered a parting snub to one of his biggest congressional critics, as even his Republican allies laid into administration officials for the White House’s surprise announcement that U.S. troops would be withdrawing from Syria because, as the president put it on Twitter, Islamic State forces there had been defeated,” the Washington Post reports.

Said Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker (R-TN) went “to the White House for a previously scheduled meeting with Trump where he planned to ask him about the Syria decision. Instead, while he was waiting, Trump canceled on him without explanation.”

Said Corker: “It’s obviously a political decision.”
