Senator Bob Menendez (D-NJ), ranking member of the Foreign Relations Committee, and House counterpart Eliot Engel (D-NY) call on President Donald Trump, Monday morning, "to reject any Russian demands with respect to Syria." Their joint statement continued, "We urge President Trump to demand that President Putin uphold and implement Russian obligations related to Iranian presence in Syria and commit to a political process that ends the conflict."
They explained, "We are profoundly concerned that unilateral U.S. concessions regarding a tenable path forward in Syria will further undermine civilian protection, empower Iran, and jeopardize Israel's security."
