President-elect Donald Trump says the U.S. should avoid engaging militarily in Syria amid an opposition offensive.

He argued that Syrian President Bashar Assad did not deserve support to stay in power.

Trump 's first extensive comments on the rebel push came while he was in Paris for the reopening of the Notre Dame cathedral.

The insurgents are led by Hayat Tahrir al-Sham , which the United States designated as a terrorist group.
