President Donald Trump on Tuesday defended himself against the accusation he has abandoned Kurdish fighters in Syria as Turkey prepares for an invasion -- using a series of tweets to lavish praise both on the Kurds and Turkey.
Trump tweeted that, while the United States"may be in the process of leaving Syria ... in no way have we Abandoned the Kurds, who are special people and wonderful fighters."
— Donald J. Trump October 8, 2019 The president has faced harsh criticism from across the political spectrum -- including from usually staunch Republican allies in the Senate -- for the White House's announcing Sunday night that the United States would stand aside while Turkey proceeded with an operation in northern Syria.
On Tuesday, Trump attempted to keep that delicate balance between supporting Turkey, a NATO ally of the United States, and the Syrian Kurdish fighters, whom Turkey considers terrorists. — Donald J. Trump October 8, 2019 While he reissued a threat to Turkey -- saying that"any unforced or unnecessary fighting by Turkey will be devastating to their economy and to their very fragile currency" -- he also noted the United States has had a"very good" relationship with Turkey and that he had invited its president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan, to the White House next month.
