The United States is expected to begin a gradual withdrawal of its military presence in Syria within the next two months, as evidenced by ongoing changes at U.S. bases in the region. Reports indicate that the Pentagon plans to reduce its troop numbers from approximately 2,000, consolidating remaining forces at fewer bases. This shift comes amid a broader re-evaluation of U.S. military priorities following the Syrian government's actions. The reduction in U.S. troops may diminish the leverage of the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF), although it is noted that the SDF and the Syrian government have reached an agreement, which could affect Turkey's stance on military actions against Kurdish groups.

US military presence in Syria will be reduced, @ellee_watson reports. Pentagon plans to move out some of the 2,000 troops and consolidate those left at a smaller number of bases.
