US Secretary of Defense Mattis has signed an order to withdraw US troops from Syria. That was announced by the Pentagon. The decision of US President Trump had hit high waves.
The withdrawal of US troops from Syria is perfect. The corresponding order is signed by Secretary of Defense James Mattis. The details are not known, but this command determines when, from where and where the American soldiers will move in Syria.
Decision led to two resignations
Mattis had resigned precisely because of this decision by US President Donald Trump, as well as the special envoy of the US government for the fight against the terrorist militia „Islamic State“. Trump had taken this decision contrary to the advice of his team and the Pentagon, because in his view, the IS is largely defeated.
Mattis had offered to run the business until the end of February. However, during the course of Sunday, Trump appointed an acting successor, so Mattis has to leave at the end of December.
