Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell repudiated Trump's decision to pull back troops from northern Syria, urging the administration to reverse course.
Mitch McConnell: Withdrawing from Syria is a grave mistake
Trump's decision to pull back U.S. troops, paving the way for Turkey's invasion, has sparked a fierce backlash from traditional GOP allies on Capitol Hill, who called it "catastrophic," a "grave mistake" and a "disaster in the making." While Trump has retained a cavalier attitude, the ramifications of his capriciously made decision has already had catastrophic results, much of which cannot be undone. McConnell has stated that privately and publicly he has disagreed with Trump's decision.
Edit:
I posted this farther down but wanted to add it to the OP:
I'm currently taking a course titled Presidential Decision Making in Wartime that analyzes how presidents approach the most consequential matters of war and peace, discusses how presidents oversee military operations once initiated, and considers how presidents can avoid embarking on objectives that are unlikely to succeed at reasonable cost. It is taught by Brett McGurk, the former Special Presidential Envoy for the Global Coalition to Counter ISIL. He has resoundingly condemned the stunningly capricious decision and the callously cavalier attitude Mr. Trump has maintained towards our allies and innocent civilians caught in this humanitarian crisis.
