Washington (diplomat.so) - The U.S. Department of Defense is developing plans for a complete withdrawal of American forces from Syria, according to NBC News, citing two defense officials. The move follows discussions within the administration, with President Donald Trump and senior officials expressing interest in pulling troops out of the country.
U.S. forces have been involved in operations against the Islamic State (ISIS) and have supported Kurdish militias in northern Syria. The potential withdrawal raises concerns about the stability of the region, particularly for Kurdish allies who have relied on U.S. military presence for security and support.
According to the report, the Pentagon is drafting phased withdrawal plans, with timelines of 30, 60, or 90 days under consideration. The decision could have significant geopolitical implications, impacting counterterrorism efforts and shifting power dynamics in Syria.
