NEWS ALERT : U.S. Military Prepares for Syria Pullout Amid Uncertainty
The U.S. military is moving ahead with its placns to withdraw all American troops from Syria, in keeping with a White House directive in December, even though a U.S.-Turkey rift appears likely to delay the pullout, defense officials said.
White House national security adviser John Bolton said this week that the U.S. wouldn't leave Syria until Turkey promised not to target the U.S.'s Kurdish partners, provoking a furor during his visit to Ankara and throwing the withdrawal plan into turmoil.
But the defense officials said the Pentagon hasn't received any new direction and until it does, officials are proceeding with withdrawal plans.
Impact : Low
Sentiment : Bad for Safe Haven
