Trump's Withdrawal of Troops From Syria And The Motivations Behind It

According to a report by Business Insider, on Wednesday, President Donald Trump announced a plan to withdraw US troops from Syria, a move that clashed with the stated goals of the Pentagon and State Department. However, Reuters reports the decision likely saved the US from yet another protracted conflict in the Middle East, one without a clear mission or potential end in sight. Trump tweeted, "We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency."
