Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell is once again criticizing President Trump for withdrawing troops from northern Syria.
Speaking on the Senate floor, the Kentucky Republican called it a “premature exit from Syria” that will have consequences.
McConnell emphasized that there needs to be sustained American leadership in the region. The House of Representatives passed a resolution Tuesday condemning Trump’s decision and Turkey’s actions but McConnell says it isn’t strong enough.
Senator Rand Paul of Bowling Green has said he supports President Trump’s decision.
