Fox & Friends host Brian Kilmeade grilled a White House spokesperson on Monday morning over President Donald Trump’s controversial move to withdraw U.S. troops from Syria.
Mercedes Schlapp, who works as the White House’s director of strategic communications, appeared on the morning program to discuss Trump's recent decisions. When the subject of the president’s sudden move to pull American forces from Syria and Afghanistan came up, Kilmeade pushed back hard.
“Can you name an adviser the president has that recommended he pull out 2,000 troops?” Kilmeade asked Schlapp.
Declining to answer the question directly, Schlapp said she was “not going to get into the internal discussions of how the decision was made.” Trump reportedly made the call against the wishes of many top advisers, leading to the resignation of Secretary of Defense General Jim Mattis andBrett McGurk, the U.S. envoy to the coalition fighting the Islamic State militant group, or ISIS.
Logic, and a significant part of his political base, dictated the decision.
