Again, the executive branch, the president ignoring the courts, a coequal branch of government and I I'm sorry I'm gonna constantly talk about our democracy and this ideal American ideal of three coequal branches of government.

They're talking about like the withdrawal of American forces from the region, which the US can't do given what its allies in the regions have been through.
matched
So I do think this is the right sort of short term step for Trump.
matched
But they just the back and forth, the constant threats from the president.
