Possible Motives Behind US Military Drawdown in Region Outlined

The United States’ recent decision to completely withdraw troops from Syria and reduce troops in Afghanistan should not be regarded as a simple issue, although the absence of American military forces is considered a victory for the region, a lawmaker said.    
US President Donald Trump declared last week that US military forces have succeeded in their mission and were no longer needed in Syria and ordered a total withdrawal of American troops. 
Soon after the decision that baffled not only US allies but also American government officials and congressmen, he announced plans to bring home more than 5,000 of the 14,000 US troops in Afghanistan as well.
