The United States has ended the development fund for Syria, urging rich countries to pay instead.

In a tweet, US President Donald Trump said the United States has ended the 230 Million dollars yearly development payment to Syria.

Trump said Saudi Arabia and other rich countries in the Middle East should start making payments instead of the U.S.

He also said that his country will withdraw its troops in Syria very soon, triggering speculation of the U.S. possible retreat from Syria.

Syria has always denounced the U.S. military action in the country as uninvited aggression.
