US House of Representatives votes against resolution to withdraw US forces from Syria   

WASHINGTON, March 09 (YPA) – The results of a vote in the US House of Representatives indicated that the House rejected a draft resolution to withdraw US forces from Syria.

In support of the document that called on US President Joe Biden to withdraw the US army from Syria, only 103 lawmakers voted in favor of it, while 321 voted against it.

Congressman Matt Goetz, the co-author of the resolution, insisted that the administration explain the presence or withdrawal of US forces in Syria and that the House of Representatives should clarify its position on the matter.

The draft resolution indicates that the number of US forces on the territory of Syria is 900, although Congress has not approved this.
Goetz said in a statement, “Until today, Congress has not approved in any way the presence of the American armed forces in Syria.”

He indicated that the House of Representatives should put the draft resolution to a vote within 18 days from the date of its submission, as it relates to issues of war and peace.
