The United States is poised to all but eliminate its military presence in Syria, reducing the number of its military bases from eight to one.

Special Envoy to Syria Thomas Barrack announced the drawdown in an interview with Turkish broadcaster NTV late on Monday. In the interview, the recently appointed envoy stated the U.S. would be undergoing a “reconsolidation” of its presence in Syria, saying, “From eight bases, we will end up with just one.”
