Hours After Diagnosis, McCain Blasts Trump For Handing Putin A Win In Syria
Well, that was fast.
While most of Washington and the country was busy sending their well-wishes to John McCain for his cancer diagnosis, John McCain wasted no time getting back to work.
On Thursday, McCain issued a blistering statement slamming Donald Trump for his decision to stop US support moderate Syrian rebels – effectively handing Vladimir Putin a victory.
McCain said, “the administration is playing right into the hands of Vladimir Putin” with that decision.
McCain also blasted Trump for not having a coherent strategy for Syria and the Middle East.
“Six months into this administration, there is still no new strategy for victory in Afganistan either,” McCain said.
