WASHINGTON -- The United States is withdrawing all of its roughly 1,000 troops from Syria, The Wall Street Journal reported on Wednesday, citing three US officials.

The Pentagon earlier this month withdrew all US soldiers from the Al-Shaddadi base in northeastern Syria and from the Al Tanf garrison, a strategic outpost at the borders of Syria, Jordan and Iraq, according to the report.

Over the next two months, all remaining US forces will leave Syria, ending a decade-long US military presence in the Middle East country, said the report.
