EU States at Odds Over US Call to Take Back Jihadists From Syria

Earlier, US President Donald Trump urged his European allies to take back over 800 terrorists captured in Syria and bring them to justice, warning that alternatively, Washington could be forced to release them.
German Foreign Minister Heiko Maas has lashed out at US President Trump’s demand for European nations to repatriate jihadists, saying that “it is certainly not as easy as they think in America”.

Szijjarto’s Slovakian colleague Miroslav Lajcak, in contrast, said that he “would certainly be in favour” of Europe taking jihadists back.
