Previously, the decision by US President Donald Trump allegedly made Defence Secretary James Mattis announce his resignation.
Brett McGurk, the US ambassador to the coalition fighting the Daesh terror group, has resigned in protest to US troops being withdrawn from Syria, a US State Department official said on Saturday.
Earlier this month, McGurk stated it would be « reckless » to believe that Daesh was defeated, and therefore, US forces must stay in the country in order to oppose terrorists.
