Trump’s comments follow an offensive by government forces against positions held by the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), former US allies, which resulted in a ceasefire agreement between the two parties. Referring to his past as a former member of various groups classified as terror organisations in the US, Trump said that despite his “pretty rough resume,” he could “get the job done”.
