"Decisions have to be made,” said one U.S. official. “At some point, we make political progress, or they’re going to have to tell the military to slow down, or we’re going to proceed without a political process.” https://t.co/D2xK9aKQPm— Dion Nissenbaum (@DionNissenbaum) February 7, 2019
Reuters: U.S. military aims to withdraw from Syria by April: WSJ
ANKARA (Reuters) - The U.S. military is preparing to withdraw American forces from Syria by the end of April and a significant portion of them will be out by the middle of March, the Wall Street Journal reported, citing current and former U.S. officials.
A U.S. official confirmed the April target to Reuters, saying the withdrawal included a pull-out from the U.S. military base at Tanf, near the Syrian border with Iraq and Jordan.
President Donald Trump announced in December he was pulling all 2,000 U.S. troops out of Syria, saying the battle against Islamic State there was almost won.
The president’s sudden decision surprised many in his own administration as well as coalition allies such as Turkey and an alliance of Kurdish and Arab militias that fought Islamic State with U.S. military support.
