Republican Rep. Shimkus: Trump’s Syria decision ‘despicable’

CHICAGO (AP) — Republican U.S. Rep. John Shimkus of Illinois says he no longer supports President Donald Trump after his “terrible and despicable” decision to pull American troops from Syria.
Shimkus says he was so “shocked, embarrassed and angered” by the president’s announcement that U.S. forces would no longer protect Syrian Kurds from a Turkish invasion that he told his staff to “take my name off the ‘I support Donald Trump’ list.”
