US ends aid for northwest Syria

 

The Trump administration is reportedly pulling assistance from northwest Syria as it seeks to set the U.S. up for a swift withdrawal from the country once the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria (ISIS) is defeated.

 

CBS News reported Friday that the U.S. will stop providing tens of millions of dollars to stabilize areas of northwest Syria that have been cleared of ISIS control, a decision made following an inter-agency process in recent weeks.

 

That funding supported efforts to counter violent extremism, strengthen independent society and advance education in the region, among other things, according to the report.

 

The funding cut-off in northwest Syria makes it the first part of the war-torn country that the U.S. is officially disengaging from, though Washington will still provide humanitarian aid.
