Trump Wants To Make A Quick Decision For Withdrawal From Syria

The American Radio Farda website published that Trump, in a news conference, said he wants to make quick decision whether he will withdraw the US troops from Syria now that they nearly completed their primary mission of defeating the Islamic state, ISIS.
Trump said the mission is too costly for his country, 
"I want to get out. I want to bring our troops back home. I want to start rebuilding our nation,"
The website cited that Trump's decision conflicts with the views of some of his top advisers who see that they need to stay in Syria to finish off the ISIS.
Ilham Ahmed, a senior Kurdish official in Syria's Raqqa province, said any decision by Trump to pull out of Syria would cause "total chaos" and endanger areas recently liberated from ISIS while empowering Turkey to step up its campaign against the Kurdish-led militias that were U.S. partners during the campaign against ISIS.
Pentagon officials have warned that Turkey's attacks on Kurdish forces in the Afrin area of Syria could give ISIS the "breathing room" it needs to regroup and re-emerge in Syria.
Other Trump advisers have warned that a premature U.S. withdrawal from Syria would cede the country to Iran and Russia, which have supported Bashar al-Assad.
