Pompeo says the fight against Islamic State is shifting from the Middle East to Africa
Following on his campaign promise of pulling U.S. troops out of overseas conflict zones, President Donald Trump last December said Washington was pulling out troops from Syria in a decision that sent shockwaves to its allies.
The U.S. decision to reduce its presence in northeastern Syria has left some of its Western and Arab allies, in addition to Kurdish forces in the region, feeling burned. A Turkish incursion on Oct. 9 into northeastern Syria - for which Trump, albeit disagreeing, cleared the way by pulling a handful of troops in Ankara’s way - has also upended the dynamics in the region.
The diplomat said the U.S. withdrawal and Trump’s reluctance to spend U.S. blood and treasure to secure the Middle East had underscored a wider phenomenon of waning American influence in the region and the need for countries in the region to deepen ties to other powers, such as Russia and China.
