US President-elect Donald Trump needs to drag American troops out of northern Syria as an alternative of leaving them as “cannon fodder” if combating breaks out between different events, stated his political ally Rober F. Kennedy Jr.
Kennedy, who endorsed the Republican candidate in Tuesday’s presidential election, stated that Trump lately expressed concern to him in regards to the US navy presence in Syria.
In an interview with American journalist Tucker Carlson, Kennedy mentioned the position of US presidents in essential decision-making processes and shared particulars of a latest dialog he had with Trump.
“When I was with President Trump, we were talking about the Middle East, and he took a piece of paper and drew on it a map of the Middle East with all the nations on it, which most Americans can’t do. Then he wrote in each country the troop strength,” he stated.
Kennedy described Trump’s explicit deal with the border between Syria and Türkiye.
“He said we have 500 men on the border of Syria and Türkiye, and a little encampment that was bombed. He said there’s 750,000 troops in Türkiye. There’s 250,000 militants in Syria. If they go up against each other, we’re in the middle.”
According to Kennedy, Trump later requested his generals what would occur if a battle broke out, to which they reportedly replied, “They’re going to be cannon fodder.”
