US left Syria after defeating Islamic State: Trump

Refraining from answering directly to the question if Turkey has gone beyond the limits he has set up so far, Trump said the Turks knows where he stands. "We had a big victory. We left the area. I don't think the American people want to see us go back in with our military," he said.

In another tweet, Trump said the US had three choices. “Send in thousands of troops and win Militarily, hit Turkey very hard Financially and with Sanctions, or mediate a deal between Turkey and the Kurds,” he said.

The United States has three options in Syria — send in thousands of troops and win militarily, hit Turkey very hard financially with sanctions or mediate a deal between Turkey and the Kurds – US President Donald Trump said asserting that American troops left the region only after defeating the Islamic State. “We defeated 100 per cent of the ISIS caliphate and no longer have any troops in the area under attack by Turkey in Syria. We did our job perfectly! Now Turkey is attacking the Kurds, who have been fighting each other for 200 years,” Trump said in a tweet Thursday night.
