(Politico) President Donald Trump complained Tuesday that European countries are not carrying their weight in the effort to relocate captured Islamic State soldiers after the militant group’s physical territory in Syria crumbled earlier this year.
“We have 1,800 ISIS Prisoners taken hostage in our final battles to destroy 100% of the Caliphate in Syria. Decisions are now being made as to what to do with these dangerous prisoners,” Trump wrote in a pair of tweets.
He then claimed that “European countries are not helping at all, even though this was very much done for their benefit,” and accused them of “refusing to take back prisoners from their specific countries.”
