Trump: If necessary, we will act in Syria from Iraq

As time has shown, the skepticism of the Russian Foreign Ministry regarding Donald Trump's statements about the withdrawal of troops from Syria turned out to be quite justified.



Despite the fact that resigned James Mattis signed an order to withdraw the American contingent from Syria, the United States will retain not only its presence in the region, but also the ability to operate on the territory of the republic.

This is evidenced by the statement of Donald trump, which leads the agency Reuters:

We can use Iraq as a base if we want to do something in Syria


This statement, along with Trump's unexpected visit to Iraq, where he visited US troops and congratulated them on Christmas, suggests that the United States "leaves and remains" and maintains its military presence in the region.

Despite the fact that during this short and unexpected visit, the meeting of the head of the White House and Iraqi Prime Minister Adel Abdel Mahdi did not take place because of “disagreements on the organization’s views,” the US influence on this country is very great and is supported by the presence of five thousand American bayonets.

Thus, leaving Syria, Trump seeks warming relations with Turkey and at the same time reserves the opportunity to control and, if necessary, influence the situation in the region.
