Washington Defense Secretary Mark Esper said Tuesday that American troops ordered out of northern Syria will"temporarily" go to Iraq before they return to the US, and that President Donald Trump has not yet approved a plan to keep some troops in Syria to protect oil fields.
"We're conducting a phased withdrawal -- deliberate phased withdrawal from northeast Syria," Esper told CNN's Christiane Amanpour in an exclusive interview held at the Prince Sultan Air Base, located in a desert area east of the Saudi capital of Riyadh."We will temporarily reposition in Iraq pursuant to bringing the troops home. And so it's just one part of a continuing phase, but eventually those troops are going to come home.
