Trump announced that he provided $ 50 million to humanitarian organizations in Syria, after being criticized for Turkey's military campaign.

"Other presidents do not do this, they just spend more on things that do not bring happiness," US President Donald Trump said when announcing the aid package for Syria at a dinner party on 12/10 in Washington DC

The White House then announced that the $ 50 million was an emergency financial aid for human rights organizations, civil society and efforts to support minor or religious victims of the conflict. in Syria.

Trump's aid package was announced by Trump in the context of criticism by the US President for his decision not to prevent Turkey's military campaign against the Kurdish militia ally (YPG) in northeastern Syria.

Turkey on October 9 launched a military campaign to attack YPG, a force it considers terrorist. YPG has been a close ally of the US in the fight against ISIS for many years. Trump, a few days earlier, ordered the US troops supporting the YPG to withdraw to the backline, causing him to be condemned by many who abandoned their allies.

Turkey's military campaign in Syria has left nearly 100,000 people homeless. Many officials fear IS could use the chaos to rise again after being defeated in Syria earlier this year.

The Turkish military said it captured the important town of Ras al-Ayn, close to the border on November 12. Many villages in northern Syria are under Turkish control and Ankara's Syrian-backed Free Syrian Army (FSA) rebel group.

"Don't forget that the Kurds fight for their land. They don't help us fight for our land. They want borders, but I don't think American soldiers will be there for another 15 years to protect the Syrian-Turkey border while we cannot protect our own border, "Trump said at the party.

Trump said that the US spending billions of dollars in Iraq was the worst mistake, claiming to withdraw troops after fulfilling the goal of defeating IS, despite the great pressure from defense industry corporations in country.

Many countries oppose Turkey's military campaign. The Ministry of Defense and the French Foreign Ministry announced a suspension of arms exports to Turkey over concerns they were used in a military operation in Syria. German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas announced that the country also stopped issuing new licenses to sell weapons to Turkey.

In response, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said he would not stop the military operation until the Kurdish forces backed 30 km behind the border.

Representatives of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) with the YPG as the core have called on the US to "exercise its moral responsibility" and at the same time blockade airspace in northern Syria to prevent Turkish fighters. conducting air strikes. However, the SDF does not want the US "to bring soldiers to the front lines and put them in danger".
