Under Trump’s Orders, Pentagon Plans ‘Permanent Withdrawal’ From Syria
Washington is drafting plans for a withdrawal of US military forces from Syria, two defense officials told NBC News on 4 February.
“The Defense Department is developing plans to withdraw all US troops from Syria,” the officials said.
As a result of US President Donald Trump and those close to him expressing an intention to pull out of Syria recently, Pentagon officials are “drawing up plans for a full withdrawal in 30, 60 or 90 days,” the report conveyed.
US defense officials told NBC that Trump’s National Security Advisor Mike Waltz visited CENTCOM’s headquarters last week, met with senior army officials, and received briefings on the region.
