According to reports, scenarios for the withdrawal of American troops from Syria are currently being developed in the Pentagon. The up to 2000 soldiers can be deducted within 30, 60 or 90 days, is said.
Until now, the troops are supposed to prevent the terrorist militia of the Islamic State. They work with Kurdish troops who control areas in the northeast of the country. US President Donald Trump already planned to dissolve the presence in Syria during his first term and was therefore in a dispute with his then Minister of Defense James Mattis, who resigned a short time later.
In December, the Syrian long-term power holder Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by a rebel alliance after almost 14 years of civil war. A transitional government is now ruling. However, there are still fights in some parts of the country, for example in the northeast between Kurdish militias and strength close to Turkey.
More influence of Turkey
The fall of Assad has considerably increased the influence of Türkiye in the region. “We have a common excellent interest that ultimately stops peace and stability in this region. And Turkey is a very central player for that, “said the federal President Frank-Walter Steinmeier of Germany on Wednesday. He was traveling to the middle -east.
