Pompeo Says The U.S. Troop Withdrawal From Syria Is Just A 'Tactical Change'
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo is traveling through the Middle East as confusion mounts over U.S. policy in Syria.
Seeking to quell concern about the U.S. troop withdrawal from Syria, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo on Saturday described the American exit as a "tactical change" in military strategy that wouldn't deter efforts to defeat ISIS or hurt U.S. interests in the region.
Pompeo's remarks in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the United Arab Emirates, come after the Pentagon announced Friday that "the process of our deliberate withdrawal" had begun.
