Summary

President Trump is standing by his decision to withdraw troops from Northern Syria amid backlash from his own party. Republicans including Senator Lindsey Graham say a pullout would harm our allies and give a boost to the terror group ISIS. Mr. Trump however says he was elected to stop endless wars. Fox News senior strategic analyst Gen. Jack Keane discusses the possible consequences of the president's Syria decision and why it has created such a backlash. A tweet by the Houston Rockets general manager Daryl Morey supporting protesters in Hong Kong has caused a widespread controversy between the U.S. and the Chinese and threatens the NBA’s strong business relationship with China. FOX Business Network’s Susan Li weighs in on the controversy and how China’s restrictive government is impacting America’s sports and entertainment industries. Plus, commentary by "The Guy Benson Show" host, Guy Benson. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
