U.S. Won’t Be Sending Ground Troops to Idlib, Syria

March 12, 2020 (EIRNS)—U.S. National Security Adviser Robert O’Brien told the Heritage Foundation yesterday that the United States will not send ground troops to Syria’s Idlib province on behalf of Turkey. “That’s a very difficult situation. Some folks suggested that we stop the fighting, but we are not going to drop the 101st [Airborne Division] in the middle of Russian, Syrian, Iranian, al-Qaeda, Turkish [and]... Syrian defense forces,” O’Brien said, reported Sputnik International. “That’s not something we are going to commit American troops to at this point.”
