According to the Al-Arabiya channel, the White House has rejected reports that the US government is weighing on withdrawing its troops from Syria.
Earlier, a Pentagon official also quoted by Sputnik that the rumors of the withdrawal of American forces from the war-torn Arab country are false. That after some US media reported that the country's forces were ready to leave Syria.
The US deployed forces and military equipment to Syria in 2014 without any authorization from Damascus or a UN mandate under the pretext of fighting Daesh.
Americans maintain their illegal presence on the Syrian soil, although Damascus and its allies defeated Daesh in 2019 and despite the Syrian government’s repeated calls for US forces to leave.
Damascus also refutes US claims that the military presence is aimed at preventing the reemergence of Daesh and says the deployment is only meant to plunder the country’s natural resources, especially oil.
The call for US forces to leave Iraq is also growing amid anger at the US support for Israel’s war crimes and genocide in the Gaza Strip.
CNN reported that Washington and Baghdad will discuss the future presence of the American coalition forces in Iraq.
However, Iraqi Prime Minister, Mohammad Shia al-Sudani, has demanded the withdrawal of American forces from the country.
Iraqi lawmakers also voted overwhelmingly in 2020 and asked their government to call on Washington to pull out its forces after then President Donald Trump ordered the assassination of Iran’s Lieutenant General Qassem Soleimani and Iraqi commander Abu Mahdi Al-Mohandes in Baghdad.
