Earlier, US President Donald Trump said that Washington should not have sent troops to the Middle East, and this decision cost the country $ 8 trillion.

Speaking of Syria, the American leader said it was time for the United States to "get out of endless wars" and return its soldiers home.

At the same time, at the end of September, it was reported that the United States additionally deployed a battery of Patriot anti-aircraft missile systems and about 200 military personnel in Saudi Arabia.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the Pentagon took this step in connection with the attacks on oil facilities in Saudi Arabia that occurred on September 14.
