The US military is considering full withdrawal of troops from Syria, Reuters reported. 

The full withdrawal of the US troops from Syria would still leave a sizeable US military presence in the region, including about 5,200 troops across the border in Iraq, the source noted.

According to NYT, an official statement on the withdrawal of troops may appear as early as Wednesday, administration officials said.

“But Pentagon officials were still trying to talk the president out of it, arguing that such a move would betray Kurdish allies who have fought alongside American troops in Syria and who could find themselves under attack in a military offensive now threatened by Turkey,” the source added.

We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.
