Sen. Elizabeth Warren (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/topic/elizabeth-warren) (D-Mass.) supports withdrawing American troops from military engagements in Syria and Afghanistan, she told MSNBC host Rachel Maddow on Wednesday night.
Warren, who announced an exploratory committee (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/elizabeth-warren-exploratory-committee_us_5c298352e4b05c88b701a09f) this week for a presidential run in 2020, made the comments when asked for her views on President Donald Trump’s recent decision (https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/lindsey-graham-donald-trump-syria_us_5c292d69e4b08aaf7a919f2b) to pull all U.S. military personnel out of Syria.
“I think it is right to get our troops out of Syria ― and let me add, I think it’s right to get our troops out of Afghanistan,” Warren said.
“I think that everybody who keeps saying, ‘No, no, no, we can’t do that,’ in the defense establishment needs to explain what they think winning in those wars [looks] like and where the metrics are,” the senator said.
But Warren disagreed with Trump’s abrupt announcement of his decision on Syria, saying that policy shouldn’t be conducted via Twitter.
“We actually need to plan this out and talk about it with our allies, how we ensure more safety and stability in the region,” she said.
