United States officials said Washington is moving toward a full military exit from Syria, with plans underway to pull out roughly 1,000 troops over the coming weeks, the Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday.
People familiar with the matter said US forces have already pulled out of key bases, including Al Tanf and Al Shaddadi, with remaining troops expected to leave over the next two months. US officials said the drawdown does not affect Washington's ability to respond to threats from the Islamic State.
The move comes as the administration of US President Donald Trump seeks to strengthen diplomatic ties with Syria's new leadership following the collapse of Kurdish-led control and a fragile ceasefire with Damascus-backed forces.
