'This is a complete and utter national security disaster in the making and I hope President Trump will adjust his thinking,' the Republican senator tweeted.
"I hope President Trump is right in his belief that Turkey's invasion of Syria is of no concern to us, abandoning the Kurds won't come back to haunt us, ISIS won't reemerge, and Iran will not fill the vacuum created by this decision," the GOP senator wrote.
The congressman also pointed out that Trump's words appeared to"undercut" efforts by Vice President Mike Pence and Secretary of State Mike Pompeo to bring an end to the escalating conflict. Senator Lindsey Graham attends the Ambrosetti International Economic Forum 2019 on September 6 in Cernobbio, Italyrepeatedly for his decision regarding Syria."By abandoning the Kurds we have sent the most dangerous signal possible–America is an unreliable ally and it's just a matter of time before China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea act out in dangerous ways," the senator tweeted last Monday.
