Rep. Mark Pocan

Today’s vote to sanction Turkey is one facet of a solution to fix Trump's disastrous policy. We can't protect our Kurdish partners in Syria through indefinite troop deployments. We need a multilateral diplomatic campaign to end the violence and create accountability in Syria.

Replying to

The president's decision to usher in Turkey’s military incursion empowered an ethnic cleansing campaign against our Kurdish partners. Period. Now he’s keeping US troops in Syria to control Syrian oil -- which is illegal and unconstitutional.

President Trump says the U.S. will take Syrian oil, and a senior official said the U.S. is looking at it-- but U.S. law and treaties say that would be a war crime.

At every step of the way,

@realDonaldTrump

has acted in his own self-interest. This entire policy failure has proven one thing: President Trump is a president not for--but at the expense--of the people.
