Congresswoman Horn Releases Statement on Troop Withdraw in Syria

Congresswoman Kendra Horn, a member of the House Armed Services Committee, released the following statement in response to the Trump Administration’s Syrian policy:

“The Administration’s sudden decision to withdraw U.S. military personnel from Northern Syria endangers our national security and will place American-backed Kurdish troops in harm’s way. The Kurds have been one of our strongest allies and closest partners in the fight against ISIS. Abandoning our allies sends the message that the U.S. is an unpredictable and unreliable partner in the fight against terror, and it bolsters Russian efforts to destabilize the region. This irresponsible action weakens our interests in the Middle East, and it will undermine American gains over the last five years in the fight against ISIS.”
