In light of President Trump’s recent announcement to maintain a small military presence in Syria, Hudson Institute will host a discussion on the consequences of the U.S.’s troop drawdown decision. Panelists will include Mariam Jalabi, the representative for the Syrian Opposition Coalition to the United Nations; Jomana Qaddour, a former senior policy analyst for the U.S. Commission on International Religious Freedom; Bassam Ishak, the president of the Syriac National Council of Syria; Hudson Institute Senior Fellows Michael Doran and Jonas Parello-Plesner.
President Trump has proclaimed military victory over the Islamic State in Syria and announced a military drawdown of U.S. troops. However, the military defeat of the Islamic State will not be the end of the challenges facing Syria. While not a full withdrawal, this drawdown raises concerns regarding post-U.S. regional power politics, reconstruction, and accountability for the survivors in the region.
