WASHINGTON — President-elect Donald Trump said Nov. 22 that “we have to end” the Syrian war, but he did not think the United States should be involved in nation building. Trump also said that he would love to solve the Israel-Palestine conflict, and thought his son-in-law Jared Kushner could help.
“We have to end that craziness that’s going on in Syria,” Trump said during a 75-minute, on-the-record meeting with reporters and editors at The New York Times headquarters on Nov. 22, according to tweets of the meeting posted by Times staff.
