The majority of Americans said President Trump’s decision to pull troops from northern Syria is damaging the U.S. reputation as a trusted ally, according to a new poll.
Just over half, 54 percent, of Americans said Trump’s decision damages the nation’s reputation as a trusted ally, based on the USA Today/Ipsos poll released Friday.
Even more Americans, 61 percent, said the U.S. had an obligation to protect the Kurds, with whom the U.S. was fighting alongside with before Trump pulled American troops out.
