Cornyn Praises Trump Decision to Pull Troops from Syria

“Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) lauded the president’s abrupt decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria, arguing Wednesday that with Turkey intent on ethnic cleansing of the Kurds — longtime U.S. allies in the fight against the radical Islamic State — the move had merit,” the Dallas Morning News reports.

Said Cornyn: “If Turkey was planning on coming into northern Syria and trying to ethnically cleanse the Kurds, and U.S. troops were caught in the middle, I am not completely convinced that it was a bad idea to get them out of harm’s way.”
