Congressman Van Drew on U.S. Withdrawal of Troops in Syria
Washington, DC,
October 8, 2019
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 8, 2019 CONTACT - Mackenzie Lucas 1(202) 225-6572 Congressman Jeff Van Drew responded to the decision to pull back U.S. troops from Northern Syria: “I strongly disagree with the President’s decision to withdrawal U.S. troops from northeastern Syria. Our Kurd allies have been instrumental in our fight against ISIS. Our allies must know America always fulfills its responsibilities. A withdrawal puts our own national security at risk as well as our European allies and Israel and increases the chances of an ISIS resurgence. I urge the President to exert American leadership and stand with our Kurd allies and the multinational coalition to destroy ISIS.” ### |
