The US military is preparing to pull all American forces out of Syria by the end of April, even though the Trump administration has yet to come up with a plan to protect its Kurdish partners from attack when they leave, current and former US officials told The Wall Street Journal on Thursday.
With US-backed fighters poised to seize the final Syrian sanctuaries held by the Islamic State (ISIS) in the coming days, the US military is turning its attention toward a withdrawal of American forces in the coming weeks, these officials said.
