Trump Cannot Be Trusted: MP

MOSCOW – It is too early to tell that the decision of the United States to withdraw its troops from Syria will actually be implemented because US President Donald Trump cannot be trusted, the Syrian lawmaker Ahmad Mer’i told Sputnik.

“We have to wait to see what is the background of this decision, maybe Trump is trying to get more money from the Gulf world so we cannot say anything about this statement now, because Trump changes his mind every day. It’s too early to say if Trump’s decision will actually be implemented… No one trusts Trump, he is a big liar,” Syrian parliament member Ahmad Mer’i said.

 The remark comes after White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders said earlier in the day that US servicemen were returning home from their mission fighting the Daesh terrorist group in Syria. She stressed that the United States was moving on to the next phase in its campaign in Syria and would continue to work with its allies allegedly to fight the radical group.

Meantime, Commenting on Trump’s tweet, American political analyst Stephen Lendman said, “Trump says one thing one day, something else another. Earlier he promised to withdraw US forces from Syria and Afghanistan. He increased US forces in both countries.”

“The Pentagon has well over a dozen bases in Syria, mostly in the north. I strongly doubt it’ll abandon them,” he told Press TV.
