Sen. Lindsey Graham, a South Carolina Republican and at times a close ally of President Trump, sharply criticized the President over his decision to remove US troops from northern Syria
Graham told CNN in an interview Wednesday morning that Trump"will have American blood on his hands if he abandons Kurds because ISIS will come back, and if any American is killed anywhere because a resurgent ISIS, it will fall on the Trump administration like it did Obama."He added,"I blame the terrorists, I blame Erdogan for the violence, but I do look to President Trump to fix it."Graham's comments followed a Senate Foreign Relations Committee meeting on Capitol Hill.
"The South Carolina senator also used the opportunity to address the Christian community's response to the President's Syria decision -- many of whom are part of Trump's own conservative base."I think there's a wide-held belief in the Christian community the Kurds have been good allies, they've been good to Syrian Christians," Graham said, adding that there is"a lot of disappointment there.
