Withdrawal decision may be a broader redeployment of U.S. forces out of Middle East – Shafaqna English

SHAFAQNA | By Leila Yazdani : Donald Trump is bringing back home America’s troops from Syria just two years after he was elected president. Trump’s decision on Afghanistan was made at the same time, too. Although the withdrawal decision doesn’t signal an end to the American-led coalition’s fight against the Islamic State, it will likely erode U.S. leadership of that 31-nation effort. It may also be just the start of a broader redeployment of U.S. forces out of the region.
