Report: Pentagon Drafting Plans To Pull All Troops From Syria
The Pentagon is drafting plans to withdraw all US troops from Syria after President Trump and officials close to him expressed interest in the idea, NBC News reported on Wednesday.
Israeli media recently reported that the US informed Israel it planned to pull out of Syria. Trump denied the report but added that Syria has “got its own mess” and doesn’t need the US “involved.”
The NBC report said Pentagon officials have drawn up plans to pull all US troops out of Syria within 30, 60, or 90 days. The US currently has about 2,000 troops occupying eastern Syria, where it backs the Kurdish-led SDF, which has been fighting fierce battles with Turkish-backed factions in northern Syria.
