Southeast Asia Information Port (www.dnyxxg.com) – CCTV reporters learned on the 21st local time that the US military has begun withdrawing from the Kasruk military base in Hasakah province, northeastern Syria.
Several US officials previously stated that the US military had recently completed its withdrawal from the Tanf military base near the Jordanian-Iraqi border and the Shadadi military base in northeastern Syria, and will withdraw from its remaining posts in Syria within the next two months.
US officials stated that given the near "dissolution" of the US-backed Syrian Kurdish-led "Syrian Democratic Forces," the Trump administration believes that a US military presence in Syria is no longer necessary. At the same time, the US hopes to strengthen diplomatic relations with the Syrian transitional government.
In September 2014, the US convened a multinational coalition to combat ISIS, conducting airstrikes against ISIS targets in Syria and Iraq. The US began deploying troops to Syria in 2015.
