President-elect Donald Trump declared the U.S. should avoid involvement in Syria, describing the nation as “not our friend.” In a post on Truth Social, he emphasized, “This is not our fight. Let it play out.” Trump cited Russia's preoccupation with the Ukraine conflict, suggesting Moscow’s diminishing role in Syria might benefit it. He also highlighted his long-standing opposition to the deployment of U.S. troops in Syria, advocating for withdrawal to prevent regional power vacuums. Trump's comments reflect his skepticism of prolonged U.S. military presence, which he criticized during his first term as detrimental to American interests.
