TASS  21 mins ago

PARIS, December 20. /TASS/. France is determined to continue the fight against terrorism in Syria despite US President Donald Trump’s decision on complete withdrawal of US troops from that country, French Minister for European Affairs, Nathalie Loiseau, told the CNews TV channel on Thursday.

"The war on terror is far from over. It has already been marked by substantial progress, particularly in Syria, where actions are carried out within the framework of the international coalition. However, it is essential to continue that fight," she said.

Mark Levin also was appealing to the Prez. not to make this decision. France shows some world leadership. Good. I'm not sure exactly what this will entail regarding the Kurds.
