Donald Trump lashed out at a Fox News Channel host on Monday for saying Turkey is 'carving up the Kurds' after the president ordered American forces to begin 'moving out' of Syria. 'Brian Kilmeade over at @foxandfriends got it all wrong,' the president complained on Twitter. He also claimed Kurds in northern Syria 'may be releasing some' ISIS fighters from their prisons as a tactic to draw the U.S. military back in. The militants, he said, would be '[e]asily recaptured by Turkey or European Nations from where many came, but they should move quickly.' The Turkish onslaught in Syria has raised fears that ISIS fighters and their families held by the Kurdish-led forces previously allied with Washington might escape and reorganize the terrorist group. Hundreds are said to have escaped already. Kilmeade and his two 'Fox & Friends' co-hosts, Ainsley Earhardt and Steve Doocy, began the 7:00 a.m. hour on Monday with a news alert about a coming Turkish incursion aimed at driving Kurdish-led … [Read more...] about Donald Trump clobbers Fox News host for saying Turks are ‘carving up the Kurds right now and we’re just moving out’ as he promises ‘big sanctions on Turkey’ for Syria invasion

Donald Trump said Monday that as U.S. troops withdraw from Syria, he has put the fate of America's former Kurdish allies in the hands of Syrian dictator Bashar al-Assad, whose regime he called 'our enemy' in the same breath. And he announced that his administration aims to punish Turkey's incursion into Syria by canceling a $100 billion trade agreement, hiking import tariffs on Turkish steel, and readying economic sanctions against anyone in Erdoğan's government who threatens 'peace, security, or stability' in Syria. Turkey is a NATO ally. It's also the aggressor whose military incursion both the Syrian army and the Kurds are trying to push back. And sitting on an air base 250 miles inside Turkey, which the U.S. has shared since the mid-1950s, are about 50 American tactical nuclear weapons. A senior U.S. official told The New York Times on Monday that the weapons, though under American control, have effectively become Erdoğan's hostages. Leaving them there could become a … [Read more...] about BREAKING NEWS: Donald Trump says the Kurds are Assad’s problem now and ANYONE is welcome to help protect them as he invites Russia, China and ‘Napoleon Bonaparte’ to step up – while revealing sanctions on Turkey
