short by Swati Dubey / on Tuesday, 17 December, 2024
US President-elect Donald Trump called the removal of Syria's Bashar al-Assad an "unfriendly and very smart takeover" orchestrated by Turkey. "Turkey did an unfriendly takeover, without a lot of lives being lost...Assad was a butcher, especially with what he did to children," Trump stated. Turkey has been a key supporter of opposition groups trying to overthrow Assad.
