WATCH: Trump Defends Syria Decision, Warns Turkey What to Expect If They Attack
President Trump addressed his largely unpopular decision to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria at the White House Wednesday, after singing executive orders on transparency. Going into the Middle East is “the worst mistake” the U.S. has ever made, the president said. . .

Yet, with no more U.S. presence, there are reports that Turkish forces are going to launch an offensive into Syria and “wipe out” our Kurdish allies. Asked to respond, Trump said he hopes Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan will “act rationally.” If not, he said Erdogan could expect severe economic sanctions.
