US to scale down its military bases in Syria, envoy says

The United States will scale down its military presence in Syria to one base from eight and U.S. policies will shift in the country "because none of them worked" over the last century, the new U.S. special envoy has said.

Thomas Barrack, who President Donald Trump named special envoy last month shortly after he unexpectedly lifted U.S. sanctions on Syria, made the comments in an interview with Turkish broadcaster NTV late on Monday.
