Trump postpones withdrawal of US troops from Syria

WASHINGTON:U.S President Donald Trump has agreed in a National Security Council meeting this week to keep U.S. troops in Syria a little longer to defeat Islamic State but wants them out relatively soon.

According to a senior administration official,U.S President did not approve a specific withdrawal timetable at meeting.

He said the Unites states desire to ensure Islamic State militants are defeated and wants other countries in the region and the United Nations to step up and help provide stability in Syria. APP/AFP
