Trump's Syria Stance Sparks Global and Domestic Tensions

TL;DR Summary
Donald Trump, the US president-elect, has reiterated his stance that Syria is "not our fight" and that the US should not intervene following the fall of Assad's regime. Despite his isolationist rhetoric, the complexities of the region and the presence of US troops in Syria may challenge this position. Trump's administration, including figures like Mike Waltz and Tulsi Gabbard, may influence his approach, balancing non-intervention with counterterrorism and regional stability goals. The situation is further complicated by US relations with allies like the Syrian Democratic Forces and Turkey.
