Macron: French Troops to Stay in Syria


PARIS (Dispatches) -- President Emmanuel Macron says France will keep its forces in Syria and remain "militarily engaged" in the Middle East despite U.S. plans to withdraw from the Arab country.
Addressing military officials at an army base near the city of Toulouse, Macron said "the fight (in Syria) is not over" and that "any rush to withdraw would be a mistake.” He also criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's call for an alleged troop withdrawal from the war-torn country.
