TRUMP: US TROOP EXIT FROM SYRIA IS NOW UNDERWAY

Trump Tweet posted 45 minutes ago
Starting the long overdue pullout from Syria while hitting the little remaining ISIS territorial caliphate hard, and from many directions. Will attack again from existing nearby base if it re-forms. Will devastate Turkey economically if they hit Kurds. Create 20 mile safe zone ...

35 minutes ago:
... Likewise, do not want the Kurds to provoke Turkey. Russia, Iran and Syria have been the biggest beneficiaries of the long term U.S. policy of destroying ISIS in Syria - natural enemies. We also benefit but it is now time to bring our troops back home. Stop the ENDLESS WARS!

[END]

Who's going to create and maintain the 20-mile safe zone? From RT's translation of the Tweets, it seems Trump intends Turkey to do it. As to the location of the nearby existing base -- RT thinks it means Iraq. We'll see.
