Trump says US shouldn't intervene in Syria as opposition forces gain ground

President-elect Donald Trump says the U.S. should avoid engaging militarily in Syria as an insurgent offensive reaches the suburbs of the capital. Trump’s first extensive comments on the dramatic rebel push came Saturday via his social media website. The Biden administration also has said it's not backing the offensive, nor has it suggested that the U.S. military will intervene. Trump condemned the overall U.S. handling of what is a 13-year war in Syria. But he added, "THE UNITED STATES SHOULD HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH IT. THIS IS NOT OUR FIGHT. LET IT PLAY OUT. DO NOT GET INVOLVED!”
