Washington Times: Trump orders ‘safe zones’ in Syria despite fears of deeper U.S. involvement in war

“President Trump is ordering the Pentagon and State Department to develop a series of ‘safe zones’ in Syria, a move that administration critics claims could draw the U.S. military deeper into the country’s civil war.

“The safe-zone mandate was tucked into the text of an executive order signed Wednesday by Mr. Trump that establishes curbs on the flow of refugees from Iraq, Syria, Libya, Yemen and other conflict zones from migrating to the United States. The order also institutes a revamped screening process for all U.S. immigrants.

“Defense Secretary James N. Mattis and Rex Tillerson, Mr. Trump’s pick to be secretary of state, will have 90 days to submit a blueprint to the White House on the establishment of ‘safe areas in Syria and in the surrounding region in which Syrian nationals displaced from their homeland can await firm settlement,’ according to a copy of the order, obtained by The Huffington Post.
