U.S. forces are set to remain in Iraq and Syria indefinitely following a
declaration from the Trump administration that it needs no new
authorization to keep soldiers in the war. The White House has indicated
for some time that President Trump’s administration feels there is no
need for a new Authorization for Use of Military Force (AUMF) in order
to continue operations in both Iraq and Syria. Two letters published by
the New York Times — one sent by Sen. Tim Kaine (D-VA) to Secretary of
State Rex Tillerson and Secretary of Defense James Mattis, and one sent
in response — flesh out the administration’s justification. Kaine asked
for “clarification and additional information” on current U.S. efforts.
