10/17/19 - Sen. Carper posted the following to Facebook: "President Trump’s foolish decision to abruptly pull U.S. troops out of Syria and leave our Kurdish allies open to predictable invasion and slaughter by Turkey has resulted in a humanitarian crisis, paved the way for the reemergence of ISIS and emboldened our adversaries like Assad and Putin.

The Trump Administration’s approach to Syria not only threatens security in the region, but here at home. I believe that sanctions on President Erdogan of Turkey are long overdue, but I want to be clear: sanctions alone will not reverse the self-inflicted atrocities we are watching unfold in Syria as a result of President Trump’s disastrous policy.

Instead, the measures included in this bill are merely one necessary response to send President Erdogan a message: his behavior is unacceptable. It’s why today, I joined a bipartisan group of Senators to introduce this bill that would do just that." View the Facebook post here.
