US considers complete military withdrawal from Syria

SUMMARY

The U.S. is considering a full military withdrawal from Syria as Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa seeks to regain control of the northeast from the Kurdish-led militia supported by the U.S.

This potential pullout would conclude a decade-long American presence that began in 2014.

The decision is influenced by the near collapse of the Syrian Democratic Forces, the U.S.'s key partner in the region, following recent aggressive actions by Sharaa's government.

The military presence and its benefits are currently being reassessed by the Pentagon amid these developments.
