THREAD: Statement by Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff #GenDunford on #Syria Troop Numbers: A claim reported this evening by a major U.S. newspaper that the U.S. military is developing plans to keep nearly 1,000 U.S. troops in Syria is factually incorrect. (1/3)
There has been no change to the plan announced in February and we continue to implement the President's direction to draw down U.S. forces to a residual presence. (2/3)
Further, we continue to conduct detailed military planning with the Turkish General Staff to address Turkish security concerns along the #Turkey-#Syria border. Full statement: go.usa.gov/xEFcH (3/3)
