He was later persuaded by advisers on Thursday to leave approximately 200 troops inside Syria to maintain a peacekeeping force. With their European European allies agreeing to leave between 800-1,500 troops in Syria, the U.S. is planning to set up a safe zone in the SDF-held areas.

This will likely cause an uproar from Damascus and Moscow, as both governments have repeatedly called on the U.S. to withdraw completely from the al-Tanf Zone in southeast Homs. |
