Trump withdraws troops from Nigeria, brings to Kosovo

The White House gave Congress detailed information about the transfer of American troops from Nigeria to Kosovo on Friday, but did not specify data from many war-torn countries where the American military has a considerable presence, reports American media. So it was not reported on the exact number of troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, [...]

Thus, it was not reported on the exact number of troops in Afghanistan, Iraq, the Philippines, Somalia, Syria, or Yemen. Hideing figures makes it difficult to judge whether Trump has approved recent changes, especially in Syria, a country he suggested American troops would leave in April before a chemical attack results in a review of the decision.

However, the number of troops in countries like Egypt (approximately 440), Jordan (about 2,600), Kosovo (about 690), Lebanon (about 120), and Nigeria (about 730). Four American troops were killed by religious radicals in Nigeria in October 2017, thus affecting the opinion of the vast American public and some lawmakers regarding the presence of American troops who are fighting local jihadists.

The letter says that the United States military personnel are also being distributed to Cameroon, Chad and Nigeria to support anti-terrorism operations”. There is no statistic on these African countries, which are neighboring to Nigeria.

Information was sent through an open letter from President Trump for House Speaker Paul Ryan, R-iss. “As part of my efforts to keep the Congress informed of the deployment of the United States Armed Forces equipped for combat” under the 1973 resolution.

The letter speaks of air strikes in Libya, which has undergone a complex civil war since 2014, not to mention any deployment of troops.

In Yemen, the letter says, “A small number of United States military personnel are deployed... to conduct operations against al-Qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula (AQAP) and I SIS-Jemen”

The document affirms continued US involvement in the Saudi-led coalition to restore Yemeni leader Abdrabuh Mansour Hadi.

The U.S. <x0 ... Armed Forces, in a non-combat role, have continued to provide limited military councils and information, logistics and other support for regional forces fighting the Yemen” uprising, the letter says. “U.S. Forces are present in Saudi Arabia for this purpose”.

In Syria, the document acknowledges a limited number of attacks against pro-Syrian government forces... that were legitimate measures to combat immediate threats to partner forces engaged in that campaign”.

Despite the data concessions, the Pentagon has previously announced American troops scattered in war zones, including 15,000 in Afghanistan, 5,000 in Iraq and 2,000 in Syria.

Trump critics say Congress should be provided specific authorization for combat missions.
