Republican Sen. Lindsey Graham on Wednesday blasted President Trump’s decision to pull all troops out of Syria, calling it an “Obama-like decision” that would signal Middle East allies can’t rely on America. U.S. officials told Fox News that the U.S. was considering pulling all 2,000 American troops on the ground in Syria. TRUMP ADMINISTRATION CONSIDERING PLAN TO PULL ALL US FORCES OUT OF SYRIA, OFFICIALS SAY“My theory is that by pulling 2,200 out in Northeastern Syria, that's going to boost ISIS' ability to come back,” he told Fox News. In late March, Trump said U.S. forces would be leaving Syria “very soon.”“We’re knocking the hell out of ISIS," he said. The development comes less than a week after Trump spoke to Turkish President Recep Erdoğan.
