Trump Demands Plan to Pull Troops from Somalia

“President Trump has told top advisers he wants to withdraw U.S. troops from Somalia, allowing him to make good on campaign pledges to bring soldiers home even though the country remains beset by al-Qaeda-linked insurgents,” Bloomberg reports.

“The U.S. has about 700 troops in Somalia, according to the Congressional Research Service, mostly special forces troops who are helping train Somalia’s army. All or nearly all were sent during Trump’s presidency.”
