U.S. Plans to Withdraw All Troops from Syria in Coming Months
ARK News.. American media outlets have reported that the United States is planning to withdraw all of its remaining forces in Syria—estimated at around 1,000 troops—within the next two months.
According to The Wall Street Journal, Washington intends to end its military presence in Syria following the consolidation of control by the Syrian government and a pledge by the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to integrate into state institutions.
Meanwhile, CBS cited unnamed U.S. officials as confirming that American troops will be withdrawn.
In recent months, U.S. forces have already pulled out from several bases in Syria, including al-Tanf and Al-Shaddadi, which had been used by the U.S.-led international coalition in operations against the Islamic State group.
