PRESIDENT Donald Trump decided in a meeting with his national security team that U.S. troops will remain in Syria for an undetermined amount of time, US media reported on Wednesday.<\/div>\n
\n

A senior administration official told newsmen that Trump made the decision during a meeting on Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, he wasn\u2019t thrilled about it, to say the least.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe president made his displeasure clear about any kind of long-term presence in Syria,\u2019\u2019 the official added.<\/p>\n

The media report said Trump came to the decision after Defense Secretary James Mattis and other top officials explained that a complete withdrawal of U.S. troops now would risk all the gains already made against the Islamic State.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday, Trump said in a press conference he would make a decision soon about bringing U.S. troops home from Syria.<\/p>\n

Recently, during a speech in the U.S. state of Ohio, Trump said the United States will bring home its troops from Syria \u201cvery soon\u201d and let \u201cthe other people take care of it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Almost 2,000 U.S. troops are currently operating in Syria, though the Syrian government has not authorised their presence in the country.<\/p>\n

Syria has been engulfed in a civil war since 2011, with numerous opposition factions and terrorist groups fighting the Syrian Army and government forces in an effort to topple the government of President Bashar Assad. (Sputnik\/NAN)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
