US Abruptly Starts Pulling Troops Out of Syria After Trump Tweet
The White House announced Wednesday that the United States will begin withdrawing its approximately 2,000 troops in Syria in the coming days.
President Donald Trump confirmed the move with a morning tweet: “We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.”

White House press secretary Sarah Sanders offered further details in a statement later Wednesday morning.
“Five years ago, ISIS was a very powerful and dangerous force in the Middle East, and now the United States has defeated the territorial caliphate,” she said.
“These victories over ISIS in Syria do not signal the end of the Global Coalition or its campaign. We have started returning United States troops home as we transition to the next phase of this campaign.”
