This reckless decision shows a disregard for our nation's military and intelligence leaders, many of whom have expressed deep concerns over sudden U.S. disengagement in the region. U.S. foreign policy should not be decided on a whim. The American people are entitled to a well-thought-out Syrian policy that advances our interests, respects our allies, and promotes peace throughout the region. Unfortunately, the course the President seems to be embarking on will only come as welcome news to the Assad regime, ISIS, Russia, and Iran as they will surely seek to capitalize on any premature American departure from the region. | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
