President Trump cancelled the CIA’s secret program to arm and train Syrian rebels fighting the regime of Syrian strongman Bashar al-Assad — a move critics called a gift to Russia, a new report said Wednesday.
“This is a momentous decision. Putin won in Syria,” a US official who supported the program told The Washington Post.
The program to arm moderate Syrian rebels began under the Obama administration in 2013 and was continued under Trump until now.
Officials told the paper that phasing out the covert program was a way to improve relations with Russia and President Vladimir Putin, who strongly opposed the effort.
The officials said the president made the call after an Oval Office sitdown with CIA Director Mike Pompeo and National Security Adviser H.R. McMaster ahead of Trump’s meeting with Putin at the G20 in Germany on July 7.

Great news...The CIA has trained enough ISIS and Al-Queda fighters.
Oh no...now he’s giving gifts to Russia!!! That must be what he and Pooty Poot talked about in that highly clandestine, top-secret 2nd meeting they had.
Can we expect to see an even more unhinged Ralph Peters or Max Boot on Fox News tonight?
The simple fact that the arms we provided were quickly falling into the hands of ISIS is not relevant here.
Who were these "moderate" rebels fighting - Assad, or ISIS?
Trump did the right thing if this all pans out as true.
The USA should not be training jihadist Al-Qaeda forces and pretending they are “moderates” as the likes of Hillary Clinton and John McCain and others in our government have during the Libyan and Syrian wars.
McCain’s head is going to explode again.
If it was a secret program, we wouldn’t know about it.
McCain, committed to stay at home in AZ for a lengthly recovery, must be seething that his ISIS buddies are getting no more funds, arms, and training.
Somebody needs to tell McCain. Is Linda at the hospital?
Juan MCain will be weeping in Linda Graham’s arms tonight!

“gift to Russia”, well hell, that’s a felony right there /s
Tell McCain there’s a huge bailout program that _doesn’t _ need his vote. He’ll gallantly and selflessly suspend his convalescence to deliver us another trillion into debt. Just to be on record.

Who were these “moderate” rebels fighting - Assad, or ISIS?”
That is the big questions isn’t it. Who are these guys?
Because his job is to parrot the neo-con “company line” whenever he’s on the air.
The Kurds we know about. Anyone else is very suspect in my mind.
What was that very expensive program where we trained 50 of them....5 were killed within the first 15 minutes in the d and the rest took off with OUR weapons....to God knows where. But they sure weren’t helping the rebels.
