Donald Trump, during his Paris visit last weekend, expressed his stance on Syria, emphasizing that the U.S. should avoid involvement in the country’s ongoing conflict.
He stated on social media that Syria is “a mess” and urged, “The United States should have nothing to do with it. This is not our fight. Let it play out.”
This raised questions about Trump’s future Syria policy, particularly after the fall of President Bashar al-Assad’s government.
The U.S. administration is engaged in urgent diplomacy, focusing on a new Syrian government that meets U.S. conditions for transparency, non-terrorism, and regional stability.
Trump’s foreign policy remains centered on limiting U.S. engagement in Middle Eastern conflicts, with priorities such as containing ISIS, ensuring Israel’s security, and securing a U.S.-Saudi diplomatic deal.
While his isolationist rhetoric contrasts with his team’s counterterrorism concerns, Trump has previously authorized U.S. strikes on Syria and increased sanctions on Assad’s regime.
The U.S. currently maintains around 900 troops in Syria, mainly to combat ISIS and prevent Iranian weapon transfers.
Despite Trump’s non-interventionist stance, his administration’s actions show a more complex approach.
