US President Donald Trump had no prior knowledge of the recent Israeli airstrikes on Syria, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt revealed on Monday.
In a press briefing, Leavitt stated that President Trump has a good relationship with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, “but he was surprised by the bombing in Syria and the church in Gaza.”
She vowed that Trump fully supports his envoy Tom Barrack, who “is doing a great job in Syria,” clarifying that Secretary of State Marco Rubio intervened to help de-escalate tensions in Syria.
