Hudson Voices Concern Over Syria Withdrawal
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Today U.S. Representative Richard Hudson (NC-08) released the following statement after the announcement the United States will withdraw troops from Northern Syria:
“I have very serious concerns with this decision and the grave consequences for our national security,” said Rep. Hudson. “A premature withdrawal of U.S. forces from the region would create a power vacuum and embolden terrorists to thrive and grow. Further, it would be an abandonment of our Kurdish allies who played a critical role in destroying the ISIS caliphate. I have expressed these concerns to the President on several occasions and look forward to more clarity on the Administration's plans going forward.”
