Concerns about the future of 2,000 Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) troops arise as speculation grows about the US military's withdrawal plans after the toppling of President Bashar al-Assad. The SDF spokesman highlighted that they have not received information regarding these withdrawal plans, which could lead to a resurgence of ISIS. Despite Trump's previous intentions to pull US troops out of Syria, he has faced significant internal resistance. His recent statements reaffirm a focus on an 'America First' approach, questioning the necessity of continued military involvement in Syria's complex situation.
Of course, ISIS and other malicious forces are waiting for the opportunity of the US withdrawal to reactivate and reach the state of 2014, Shami said.
Trump, who continually vows an America First foreign policy predicated on ending US military engagement abroad, initially pushed for withdrawing US troops from Syria during his first term from 2017 to 2021.
Syria is its own mess. They got enough messes over there. They don't need us involved in every one, he said.
Speculation over the future of US troops in Syria again grew following the toppling of Syrian President Bashar al-Assad in December by a rebel coalition.
