Hillary Clinton on Monday slammed the Trump administration's decision to pull U.S. troops out of northern Syria.
"Let us be clear: The president has sided with authoritarian leaders of Turkey and Russia over our loyal allies and America's own interests," Clinton, a former secretary of State and senator and President Trump's Democratic rival in 2016, tweeted.
"His decision is a sickening betrayal both of the Kurds and his oath of office."
The White House said late Sunday that U.S. troops would be pulled from the region ahead of a military operation Turkey would soon be launching.
