President-elect Donald J. Trump inherits a complex crisis in Syria, with competing arguments on how to respond to the civil war and rebel control.
Mr. Trump's apparent disdain for Syria, a country he labeled a 'land of sand and death', suggests a hands-off approach may be likely.
As rebels took ground in Damascus, Trump denounced U.S. involvement on social media, urging to 'let it play out' and 'not get involved'.
Tulsi Gabbard, nominated for Director of National Intelligence, has long argued against U.S. intervention in Syria, reflecting the administration's likely stance.
