U.S. Is Withdrawing Hundreds of Troops From Syria

The U.S. is reducing its military presence in northeastern Syria, closing three bases and cutting troop levels from 2,000 to about 1,400 based on commanders' recommendations. This move comes amid a shifting security environment following the fall of President Bashar al-Assad. Further reductions may be considered after 60 days, with some officials suggesting at least 500 troops should remain.
