**Washington D.C.** – President-elect Donald Trump has reiterated his call for a complete US withdrawal from the Syrian conflict, declaring it “not our fight” in a post on Truth Social. Trump argued that the ongoing conflict, which sees rebel forces challenging President Bashar al-Assad’s government, is not a matter for US intervention. He cited Russia’s entanglement in the Ukraine war as a factor, suggesting that Russia’s involvement in Syria may be detrimental to its own interests.

Trump’s statement seemingly opposes the current deployment of approximately 900 US troops in northeastern Syria, where they support a Syrian Kurdish alliance against the resurgence of ISIS. While he previously initiated plans for a troop withdrawal in 2018, citing the near-defeat of ISIS, concerns from advisors regarding potential Iranian and Russian influence led to a postponement. Trump’s latest pronouncements suggest a renewed commitment to ending US involvement in Syria regardless of the potential consequences.
