President-elect Donald Trump said on Saturday that the United States should avoid involvement in the conflict in Syria, where opposition forces are challenging President Bashar al-Assad’s rule as front lines have collapsed across the country amid battles for control of key cities.

Calling Syria a “mess” and “not our friend,” Trump said America should avoid any involvement in the conflict.
