Pelosi, Trump exchange 'meltdown' barbs over meeting on US policy in Syria - SABC News - Breaking news, special reports, world, business, sport coverage of all South African current events. Africa's news leader.

Trump called Pelosi a"third-rate politician" and the meeting in the White House deteriorated into a diatribe

Later, in remarks to reporters on Capitol Hill, Pelosi said that Trump actually called her a “third-grade” politician. The Democrats exited the meeting complaining that they were expecting to hear Trump provide details on a plan for dealing with an unfolding “crisis” in Syria but instead were subjected to “derogatory” language from him about congressional Democrats and Democratic former President Barack Obama.

Trump’s decision to withdraw American forces ahead of a Turkish offensive last week into northern Syria against US-allied Syrian Kurdish fighters, removing their protection, has been roundly criticized, even by fellow Republicans. The Americans and the Kurds had fought alongside each other against Islamic State militants, some of whom were captured and jailed under Kurdish control in Syria.
