US president suggests former allies he abandoned are trying to get us involved
Donald Trump has made the apparently baseless suggestion that Kurdish forces have deliberately been releasing Isis prisoners who are reported to have escaped during Turkeys offensive in Syria.
As part of his latest in a string of attacks on Fox News a network that has consistently been supportive of the president the former reality show presenter attempted to defend himself over widespread criticism of his decision to withdraw US troops, clearing the way for the Turkish attacks.
Hundreds of Isis militants and affiliates reportedly escaped from facilities during shelling over the weekend, and Mr Trump said Europe had a chance to get their ISIS prisoners, but didnt want the cost.
