Exclusive: Trump Deputy Talks Syria and the Kurds
Victoria Coates is Deputy Assistant to President Trump and Senior Director for the Middle East on the National Security Council. She's also a military historian who once worked for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX), and former Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld.
She's also someone who says she considers the family of former Vice President Dick Cheney close friends, and people she greatly admires- including Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY).
So what does Victoria Coates have to say about this news out of Syria, where Turkish troops have now pressed forward into Kurdish held areas? Will our Kurdish friends be rolled over by the Turks, and if so- how will President Trump respond?
Victoria Coates answered all those questions and more during an exclusive interview on Montana Talks with Aaron Flint on Thursday morning. Click below to listen:
