President Donald Trump’s decision to pull U.S. troops out of northeastern Syria last week ahead of a planned Turkish military invasion of the area came under intense criticism from both sides of the political aisle, especially from top Republican ally Sen. Lindsey Graham.
Graham, who labeled Trump’s decision a “blunder” and a “disaster in the making” seemingly found a way to back the president on Monday as he announced his full support for Trump’s decision to deploy economic sanctions on Turkey, according to The Hill.
“I strongly support President Trump’s decision to initiate executive order sanctions against Turkish officials and economy for Turkey’s invasion of northeastern Syria. Turkey is attacking the Kurdish forces that supported us the most in destroying the ISIS Caliphate,” Graham stated.
