Kurds ‘may be releasing’ Daesh prisoners in Syria to get US involved: Trump

Kurds ‘may be releasing’ Daesh prisoners in Syria to get US involved: Trump
  • ‘Europe had a chance to get their Daesh prisoners, but didn’t want the cost’
  • ‘... Kurds may be releasing some to get us involved’

WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump suggested Monday that Kurdish fighters may be releasing imprisoned Daesh group militants to force the United States to remain involved in northeastern Syria.
“Europe had a chance to get their Daesh prisoners, but didn’t want the cost. ‘Let the USA pay,’ they said...” Trump tweeted, using an alternate acronym for the Daesh group.


“... Kurds may be releasing some to get us involved. Easily recaptured by Turkey or European Nations from where many came, but they should move quickly.”
