"Some cargo has already moved," the official told CNN on Friday. The official also declined to say what part of Syria the equipment was in. The announcement comes after Trump said that the US troops would be withdrawing from Syria "over a period of time," dismissing the previously reported four-month exit plan. He also acknowledged that pockets of the IS remained undefeated and that a quick US pullout could endanger US partners and allies in the region, as well as American forces themselves. Currently, there are more than 2,000 US soldiers deployed in Syria.
