This was a really contentious issue, with both pro- and con- arguments that good faith arguments could support. I'm glad we've found that Trump can make the right decision on this issues. If G.W. Bush or even Reagan or Clinton made this decision, can you imagine the congressional hearings? The punditry would have lost their minds! Now, under Trump, there's a factually reported article, and everyone's happy.
