US President-elect Donald Trump has signaled a shift in US foreign policy regarding Syria. Trump stated that the US would cease involvement in Syria’s civil war, suggesting a possible end to support for Kurdish-led forces in the region. He emphasized that Syria is 'not our fight' and that events there should unfold without US intervention. Trump also stated 'Do Not Get Involved,' highlighting a non-interventionist stance. Additionally, he pointed out Russia's weakened position due to its war in Ukraine, claiming that Russia has lost over 600,000 troops and is unable to effectively support Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. This marks a potential departure from previous US policies in the region.
