Deadly strike on US troops tests Trump’s counter-ISIS plan — and his trust in Syria’s new leader
Deadly Syria attack kills two U.S. service members, intensifying pressure on Trump to reassess counter-ISIS strategy and partnership with Ahmed al-Sharaa.
Last Saturday, an Islamic State infiltrator ambushed a meeting between American soldiers and their local counterparts in a Syrian desert town. Two members of the Iowa National Guard and a U.S. civilian interpreter were killed in the assault—whose perpetrator may or may not have known that the subject of the meeting was how to counter ISIS.
The terrorist group has been linked to the Bondi Beach mass shooting and an attack in Syria that killed three Americans.
The shooting happened during a mission by U.S. and Syrian forces in a historic central town near Palmyra on Saturday. President Trump and U.S. military officials attributed the attack to ISIS.
Hudson Institute senior fellow Aaron MacLean joined 'Fox & Friends First' to discuss President Donald Trump's promise to retaliate after U.S. troops and an interpreter were killed in Syria and the latest on the effort to end the war in Ukraine.
