“Such conversations have been going on for several years. It can be assumed that the president still wants to exit Syria. At the very least, one must take into account the fact that Robert O'Brien, a super-loyal person, has been appointed National Security Advisor. Obviously, Trump got more freedom of maneuver. Many in the States themselves may not like this, but all of this is built into the foreign policy of Donald Trump, about which he spoke more than once, ”said Blokhin.
He also noted that the US president has repeatedly talked about big expenses in the Middle East and the need to invest this money in the country's internal infrastructure.
“Trump is a businessman and you need to clearly distinguish between his warlike rhetoric and specific actions. Today's promise is built into his course. From the point of view of logic and morality, this is the territory of Syria and the Americans were not invited there, ”the expert said.
Earlier, Trump, speaking about the situation in Syria, said that the United States should "get out of the endless wars" and return its soldiers home.
According to him, now Turkey, Europe, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Russia and the Kurds "must cope with this situation."
