supports withdrawing American troops from military engagements in Syria and Afghanistan, she told MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Wednesday night. “I think it is right to get our troops out of Syria ― and let me add, I think it’s right to get our troops out of Afghanistan,” Warren said. But Warren disagreed with Trump’s abrupt announcement of his decision on Syria, saying that policy shouldn’t be conducted via Twitter. The U.S. has around 14,000 troops in Afghanistan and is in its 18th year of military intervention there. “We’re now 17 years in Afghanistan and ... the [Afghan] government controls less than 60 percent of all the land,” Warren said.
