Trump gives troops four months to pull out of Syria

U.S President Trump agreed to give the military about four months to withdraw the 2,000 American troops stationed in Syria, the New York Times reported Monday citing administration sources.

Trump also signaled in a Twitter post on Monday that the troop withdrawal from Syria would be done “slowly.”

"If anybody but Donald Trump did what I did in Syria, which was an ISIS loaded mess when I became President, they would be a national hero. ISIS is mostly gone, we’re slowly sending our troops back home to be with their families, while at the same time fighting ISIS remnants," he tweeted.

U.S. President Donald Trump’s national security advisor John Bolton will hold talks with Turkish officials on the U.S.’s pullout from Syria in Ankara on Jan. 8.
