US Vice President Donald Trump, J.D. Vance, "has strongly criticized the new administration in Syria."
Vance said in an interview with Fox News today that his country "will not deploy U.S. troops in Syria, but it has much it can do diplomatically and economically to protect minorities there."
Vance said the administration should "remember who it is doing business with in Syria and ensure that these historic communities are protected," referring to Kurds, Christians, Druze and others.
He noted that Washington is talking to its allies and is also working away from the media to encourage the Damascus authority (which he described as hardliner) to protect communities and guarantee their rights.
