Trump on Syria’s president: “He’s doing a phenomenal job”
Former US President Donald Trump stated that the president of Syria, whom he claimed to have “installed,” is performing very effectively. According to Trump, this leader is a tough and uncompromising figure, but such firmness is necessary in challenging circumstances. He also noted that Syria is gradually uniting, and the president has treated the Kurds well so far.
In his remarks, Trump hinted that the Syrian leader might have been recruited by the CIA during the height of ISIS activity, a group classified as a terrorist organisation by Russia. This adds complexity to the international relations and the role of the US in the Middle Eastern conflict.
Such statements from Trump may influence how the situation in Syria and the political dynamics in the region are perceived going forward.
