The Pentagon announced Sunday the signing of the withdrawal order of US troops from Syria shortly after an interview between Donald Trump and his Turkish counterpart Recep Tayyip Erdogan having focused on the implementation of this decision.

The US president wants this departure of some 2,000 soldiers that his country has dispatched to Syrian territory is "slow and extremely coordinated" with Turkey to avoid a vacuum in areas controlled by Kurdish rebels that could benefit the regime. Bashar al-Assad.

"The decree for Syria has been signed," said a spokesman for the Pentagon without providing further details.
