Buttigieg, appearing on NBC’s “Meet the Press,” assailed what he called the inconsistency of Trump’s foreign policy, particularly in the wake of his withdrawal of U.S. forces from northeastern Syria.

“What President Trump does is wake up in the morning and have a phone call or maybe a tweet and completely change years or even decades of U.S. policy, surprising his own generals and country in the process,” Buttigieg, a military veteran, told NBC’s Chuck ToddCharles (Chuck) David ToddRand Paul calls for probe of Democrats over Ukraine letter White House officials stand by Syria withdrawal, sanctions delay amid bipartisan pushback Sunday shows — Officials rush to Trump’s defense on Syria, sanctions MORE.

“If we think that there is a commitment, treaty or a deal we can improve on, we go to the table and we make it happen. But the credibility of the United States is something that our lives depend on and when the president undermines it with things like this action in Syria, that is going to cost us for years and years,” he added. “We’ve got to be a country known to keep its word.”
