Trump Says Israel, Jordan Asked Him to Keep Some U.S. Troops in Syria

U.S. President Donald Trump says he still wants to get all U.S. troops out of Syria, but Israel and Jordan have asked him to keep some in Syria.

A small number of U.S. troops would stay „in a little different section to secure the oil,“ as well as in „a totally different section of Syria near Jordan and close to Israel,“ Trump said on Monday.
