“America will not retreat until the terror fight is over. We will labor tirelessly alongside you to defeat ISIS, Al Qaeda and other jihadists that threaten our security and yours.” “We are pulling back in Syria. We’re going to be removing our troops.” Same administration, different messages. Last month, President Trump announced the U.S. won its fight in Syria and is leaving. “I’ve been president for almost two years. And we’ve really stepped it up and we have won against ISIS.” His defense secretary resigned in protest, and lawmakers questioned the decision. “None of us believe that ISIS has been defeated. It is in our national security interest not to withdraw at this time in my view.” Since the surprise announcement, Trump’s advisers have been pushing a seemingly different message. “We’re going to be discussing the president’s decision to withdraw, but to do so from northeast Syria in a way that makes sure that ISIS is defeated.” “This isn’t a change of mission. We remain committed to the complete dismantling of ISIS, the ISIS threat and the ongoing fight against radical Islamism in all of its forms.” Trump and Pompeo have also contradicted each other on Iran. “Iran is pulling people out of Syria — they can do can do what they want there, frankly.” “The United States will use diplomacy and work with our partners to expel every last Iranian boot and work through the U.N.-led process to bring peace and stability to the long-suffering Syrian people.” Without a uniform message on Syria, American allies are increasingly concerned that Trump isn’t on the same page as his national security team.
