Dec 7, 2024, 03:50 PM
President-elect Donald Trump has declared that the United States should not get involved in the escalating conflict in Syria, where opposition fighters, in an unprecedented move, have taken control of several cities and are advancing towards Damascus in a highly coordinated offensive to potentially overthrow President Bashar al-Assad. Trump emphasized that "Syria is a mess, but it is not our friend," stressing that "this is not our fight" and urging the U.S. to "let it play out" and "do not get involved." He also noted that Russia, due to heavy losses in Ukraine, cannot stop this action.
