Matt Gaetz wants all US troops pulled from Syria, claims Biden lied about military presence

Matt Gaetz has introduced a resolution requiring President Biden to withdraw all troops from Syria after Gaetz says Biden lied about how many troops were left in the region.

"Since the invasion of Ukraine, we seem to have turned our attention away from some of America's entanglement in Syria," Gaetz told Fox News Digital. "And the purpose of my legislation is to force members of Congress to vote on record regarding whether they think we ought to continue Obama's war in Syria. President Obama kicked off our involvement … and now we still find ourselves in the middle of a Syrian civil war with Russia and Turkey and Iran, all present in a very confined neighborhood. Brianna Herlihy is a politics writer for Fox News Digital.

"And it strikes me as a powder keg for very dangerous escalation," he added. "And as we find ourselves here in 2023, we ought to ask ourselves, ‘Do we really want to continue the Obama-era policy of engaging in a Syrian civil war?’ I don't think we should."
