Reuters: The Pentagon makes plans for a possible withdrawal from Syria – the seventh day

Reuters quoted US officials that the Pentagon has started preparing plans for a possible withdrawal from Syria if an order was issued.

A Pentagon official said that the US Central Command commander played a role in pushing the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) to reach an agreement with the Damascus government.

A Syrian government official said that the presidency will solve the outstanding issues between the Syrian Democratic Forces and Turkey.

Last month, NBC News quoted US officials as saying that the American administration is working on plans to withdraw all American forces from Syria.

The report added that US President Donald Trump and officials close to him recently expressed their interest in withdrawing American forces from Syria, prompting Pentagon officials to start plans to completely withdraw.

It is reported that Trump tried to withdraw all forces from Syria in 2018 during his first term, prompting former Defense Minister James Mattis to resign.
