Trump said the time has come for the United States to get out of “endless wars”

“The United States was supposed to be in Syria for 30 days ... We stayed and sank deeper and deeper into the battle for no apparent purpose. But the time has come for us to get out of these ridiculous endless wars and bring our soldiers home, ”the president wrote on Twitter.

As Trump noted, now Turkey, Europe, Syria, Iran, Iraq, Russia and the Kurds "must cope with this situation."

Earlier, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said that the United States began to withdraw troops in northeast Syria, where Ankara is going to conduct an operation to create a security zone.

On December 19, 2018, Washington announced the start of the withdrawal of its troops from Syria.

As Russian leader Vladimir Putin emphasized, Moscow will proceed from the fact that Trump’s decision to withdraw the military from Syria "will be implemented and brought to an end."
