United Stated Never Left Syria
President Trump ordered a full withdrawal, but it never happened
President Trump announced a complete withdrawal of U.S. troops from Syria in 20181. However, this withdrawal was only partial2. Estimates show that the number of troops was reduced from 2,000 to 9003.
Since the withdrawal order, U.S. forces in the region have faced numerous attacks45 . Some reports state they have been targeted at least twenty-four times6.
