Susan Rice on Pres. Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria: 'The message that that sends to all of our potential allies and partners...when the president wakes up on the wrong side of the bed, we'll throw you under the bus.'
Former national security adviser Susan Rice, who served during the Obama administration, appeared on ABC's"The View" openly criticizing President Donald Trump's decision to withdraw U.S. troops from northern Syria, saying we are leaving our Kurdish allies"to the wolves."
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan announced in a Twitter post Wednesday morning that his troops were already deploying, prepared for an offensive strike against the Kurdish forces that helped the United States defeat ISIS. "The second problem is these people, the Kurds, were protecting some 10,000 or more ISIS terrorists [from escaping] that were being held in detention. Now that we have abandoned them, they have no choice but to fight and defend themselves. Those prisoners are either going to be released or escape," she said."That's more than 10,000 fighters that can threaten us in the region, can threaten us through our partners in Europe or can potentially threaten us here in the homeland.
In one of those controversies, Republicans scrutinized Rice's involvement in examining intelligence related to individuals affiliated with Trump's campaign and the presidential transition team in 2017.
