Rubio Statement On U.S. Withdrawal of Troops From Syria

Dec 19, 2018 | Press Releases

Washington, D.C. U.S. Senator Marco Rubio (R-FL) released a statement today following reports that the administration is planning a “full and rapid” withdrawal from Syria:
 
“The decision to pull U.S. defense presence out of Syria is a big mistake. The Syrian Democratic Forces and YPG will now abandon the fight against ISIS in the Middle Euphrates River Valley. Iran will step up activity in Southern Syria, which will elicit increased Israeli strikes that could lead to a new and far deadlier Israel-Hezbollah war. And our adversaries will use this as evidence that America is an unreliable partner. Today’s decision will lead to grave consequences in the months and years to come.”
