Hello im Terry Martian good to have you with us present a surprise decision to announce big tree over socalled Islamic State and withdraw American Forces from syria has been met with criticism from both parties in congress leading republicans are calling it a premature and costly mistake one that would benefit iran in russia others question whether the militant group has in fact been defeated two of americas Allies Britain and friends say isnt finished yet and the battle to clear them out should go on. Have invited. President trump gets his way the american troops currently in syria will start leaving the country as soon as possible trump posted a video on twitter explaining his move ive been president for almost two years and weve really stepped it up and we have won against isis weve beaten them and weve beaten him badly weve taken back the land and now its time for our troops to come back home i get very saddened when i have to write letters or call parents or wives or husbands of soldiers who have been killed fighting for our country its a great honor we cherish them but its heartbreaking theres no question about it its heartbreaking now weve won its time to come back theyre getting ready youre going to see him soon these are Great American heroes about two thousand american soldiers are currently stationed in syria officially as instructors and advisers to rebel forces that includes kurdish troops with the city and Democratic Forces the s. D. F. Who have led the fight against the socalled Islamic States the move has sparked surprise and outrage from republican lawmakers who called Chums Actions Rash and dangerous. Its a terrible thing for our nation and its a terrible thing for the. For the allies that weve been working with this terrible thing for the s. P. F. And its just. Its hard to imagine that any president would wake up and make this kind of decision with this little communication with this little preparation i mean mohnish standing as were. Beginning to move out right now. Yes. Entirely. The withdrawal of u. S. Troops is also called the other nations involved in the coalition Offguard Britain for its part said it continued to view i asked as a threat. And britain is not alone friends too is convinced that the job of fighting i. S. I. Is not finished heres what French Defense minister Flaunts Polly had to say on twitter she acknowledged that Islamic State are weaker than ever that theyve gone into hiding and are fighting is insurgents Islamic State of lost more than ninety percent of their territory she says they dont have the logistics they once had but she continues Islamic State have not been obliterated nor have the roots we must defeat the last pockets of this terrorist organization with military force. So thats the view from paris Lets Go Over To Brussels now or d. W. Is teri schultz is standing by terry any other reaction from european governments. Yes well the other government that has troops in syria the u. K. Also very much disagrees with president trumps decision weve seen the u. K. s junior defense minister toby was say this he says i strongly disagree isis has morphed into other forms of extremism and the threat is very much alive now that something that were likely to hear from other european governments as well people are are just starting to react to this news it took everyone by surprise as i understand it even u. S. Diplomats were not given much of a heads up that this was coming and so had very little to explain to allies and partners around the world. Also has its quarter headquarters there in brussels of course what do nato officials make a Surprise Move to pull u. S. Troops out of syria. And from my discussions with people at nato headquarters it was very much of a surprise im not sure whether they got any heads up at all that the announcement would be coming nato does not have troops in syria doesnt have a Training Mission or anything there as it does in in neighboring iraq so this is less relevant than it would be if nato was actually running some operations on the ground that said it is a member of this Global Coalition to defeat isis as are all the nato members and so people are very much wondering what happens to the u. S. Led coalition are they going to be also stepping down from such a Leadership Role in this the white house has put out a statement saying that the coalition will will not be not be weakened by this move but at the same time with the when the u. S. Has troops on the ground there has surveillance knows whats happening in syria to a greater extent than it will now after the pullout of course there are many questions remaining about what kind of leadership that will be for the thirty one nations that make up this Global Coalition and i think well be hearing more hearing more from from governments themselves but also im hearing that nato is expected to put out a statement reacting to the news here shortly. Also understand terry that were expecting a statement very soon from the European Union Foreign Policy chief. Actually federica marine he has just spoken after a meeting with the egyptian Foreign Minister and they they did not speak about syria they had a very very brief Press Conference and that wasnt one of the subjects unfortunately d. W. Was there ready to ask a question but it with a Press Conference was quite short and curtailed thank you so much for that update teri schultz there in brussels.
