Trump declared victory over "the Islamic State": the reaction of the Western media

And he does so with the unobtrusive horror of many of his senior assistants who have long argued that leaving Syria would be to ignore the lessons of the last two decades . However, Trump remains faithful to the statement made during the 2016 presidential campaign: he does not want to use American troops to protect the Syrian people, nor even to resist Russians or Iranians.
