Trump intends to withdraw US forces from Syria: We don’t want them as cannon fodder… Get them out of there

Robert Kennedy Jr., a close ally of Donald Trump, revealed in an interview with Tucker Carlson that President-elect Donald Trump intends to withdraw US forces from Syria.

Kennedy said Trump took a piece of paper and drew a map of the Middle East on it, looking in particular at the border between Syria and Türkiye.

“We’ve 500 troops there and a small camp that was bombed,” Trump said.

Trump informed Kennedy of the presence of US forces in the middle, between 750,000 soldiers in Türkiye and 250,000 in Syria, and didn’t specify whether he meant the Syrian government army or the SDF forces.

Trump told Kennedy that if fighting broke out between the warring parties, we would become cannon fodder.

Trump then concluded his speech by saying: Get them out of there!

In the context, Syrian Kurdish sources revealed what awaits the SDF after Donald Trump returns to the White House.

Sources expect Trump to abandon the self-administration in the coming period, especially after Washington signed an agreement with Baghdad, stipulating the withdrawal of US forces from Iraq by 2026, which means the lack of reliable supply lines to the bases in Syria.

The sources said, “America has allocated $156 million to support the SDF, and this is an amount that the Republican president, who thinks with the mentality of a merchant, will freeze, and it is not useful”.

The sources also spoke about an Arab Gulf role in this regard, which will push the new master of the White House to make a decision to withdraw from Syria, coinciding with Damascus and Ankara approaching a “normalization plan” under Russian sponsorship, which puts the “Kurdish self-administration” project in front of an existential challenge, in light of the insistence of Syria, Türkiye and Russia on ending this self-administration.
