French President Emmanuel Macron is feverishly backpedaling Monday on his claims only a day prior that he had personally convinced President Trump to keep US troops in Syria. The White House has already denied this claim.
Now Macron is claiming he never meant to suggest he’d changed US policy, but rather that he and President Trump had seen eye-to-eye on Syria all along. He added that they both agree that US troops need to stay in Syria for “the long term.”
This isn’t a good story either. President Trump is still reported to want to withdraw the troops from Syria, even if he’s become resigned to keeping them in the country for the time being. Trump is said to have only agreed because of intense Pentagon pressure.
Macron was trying to brag about his influence in the wake of France participating in US-led attacks on Syria. He overstepped, because Trump’s reluctance to stay in Syria is well-documented. As a result of Macron’s claims, Trump received a lot of criticism and the White House would never want to admit a foreign leader had changed US foreign policy.2
Aww, isn’t that cute. The little dancer “agrees” that US forces have to stay in Syria. How grand of him.
Tsk, tsk, the poodle tried to wag the Eagle.
Non, non, bad petite poodle, vilain chiot Macron.
We should be able to pull out of Syria soon because we left Assad in power . He should be able to restore the same order he had before we tried to overthrow him .. I would like to see the Iranian troops leave when we leave too . But I suppose that is to much to hope for .
“…White House would never want to admit a foreign leader had changed US foreign policy.”
But that doesn’t mean the Israeli Zionists don’t have their hands on the Trump tiller…maybe they could tell us whether the “small hands…” wives tale is true.
Macron is a dweeb.
Macron is merely doing what politicians do….ass-kissing points from his bosses.
