    No timetable for Syria withdrawal: Bolton casts doubt on Trump's plans

    Jerusalem: Donald Trump's national security adviser has cast fresh doubt on the US President's announced withdrawal of American troops from Syria.


    The President's national security adviser John Bolton said on Sunday any withdrawal would be conditional on defeating the remnants of the Islamic State (IS) group and on Turkey assuring the safety of US-allied Kurdish fighters.

    Trump last month claimed that IS had already been defeated in Syria, a statement now at odds with is top security adviser.

    Bolton said there was no timetable for the pullout, but insisted the military presence was not unlimited.
