U.S. troops withdrawal from Syria is a "tactical change," said Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday.
Speaking in Abu Dhabi, Pompeo said the move will not alter U.S. military capacity in the region to defeat Daesh or counter Iran.
On Jan. 8, Pompeo began a nine-nation tour of the Middle East, which is aimed at reassuring allies following U.S. President Donald Trump’s decision in December to withdraw all American troops from Syria.
The tour includes Jordan, Iraq, Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain, the UAE, Oman and Kuwait.
