Putin Praises Trump’s Decision on Syria

“Russian President Vladimir Putin praised President Trump’s decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, describing the American presence there as illegitimate and the Islamic State as largely defeated on the ground,” the Washington Post reports.

“Putin told journalists at his annual year-end news conference that the Islamic State has suffered ‘serious blows’ in Syria.”

Said Putin: “On this, Donald is right. I agree with him.”
