The US will not be sending any additional troops to Syria even though US troops will perform additional tasks as part of an arrangement with Turkey to patrol a buffer zone along the Syrian-Turkish border, a top US general says
Defense officials had told CNN that the Pentagon had been weighing sending a small number of additional troops to Syria in order to conduct joint patrols with Turkey in the buffer zone but military officials are now saying that the new missions will be carried out by US troops already in the country."We're not going to increase our footprint on the ground to conduct these patrols because as we see it right now, this is directly linked to our defeat Daesh mission," Brig. Gen.
America's top ally in Syria warns ISIS is resurging and asks for more US support"We're pretty convinced that as we work with Turkey, the idea of a Turkish incursion into Syria has gone down substantially," Maier added.
