Sen. Lindsey Graham, a staunch Trump ally, continues his criticism over Syria developments: 'This move ensures the reemergence of ISIS.'

Since the U.S. forces in Syria are there to partner with the SDF in their operations, that means they, too, have effectively ceased their partnered operations. But the official stressed that the U.S. still has the ability to conduct its own unilateral counterterrorism missions inside Syria.
