AUGUSTA, Maine - Maine U.S. Sen. Angus King, an independent, says he’s not sure what the Trump administration’s policy is toward Syria, but he says before taking any other steps, the president should consult with Congress.
King told CNN that he is concerned that the administration's plan might involve combat troops. “Some people have advocated that. I think that would be a huge mistake," King said. "That’s what ISIS wants. They want to bog us down in a land war in Syria.”
King said comments coming from the Trump administration are confusing. Whatever policy the president decides to pursue, King said, he should ask Congress for approval.
