"President Trump has identified Syria’s oil as a U.S. national security priority and has committed to deploying troops to protect the country’s reserves even as he pulls troops from Syria’s northern regions. U.S. Defense Secretary Mark Esper said this week that the U.S. will send in troops to protect Syrian oil fields from Islamic State militants."
Oil from a foreign country a US security priority???? dt will send US military personnel to protect it???? The man who grovels at the feet of the leaders of Russia and N. Korea will send our military to possibly fight and die for forgein oil???

There's a definite tension between the America First, "bring the troops home" Trump; and the Trump whose main complaint about the Iraq War has always been that we didn''t seize Iraq's oil, i.e. become a colonial power in the Middle East.

Or at least there would be a tension if he wasn't a complete idiot and thus understood the contradiction.
