Trump Seeking Arab Force in Syria to Take Over US Role: Report

Arab Force
The administration of US President Donald Trump plans to form an Arab force to replace US troops in Syria, a report said.

 Trump's incoming hawkish national security adviser John Bolton recently called Abbas Kamel, Egypt’s acting intelligence chief, to see if Cairo would contribute to the effort, Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday citing US officials.

The initiative comes as the administration has asked Saudi Arabia, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates to contribute billions of dollars to help "restore" northern Syria. It wants Arab nations to send troops as well, the officials added.

Details about the initiative, which have not been previously disclosed, have emerged in the days since the US-led strikes on Syria.

Trump alluded to the push on Friday night, when he announced the missile strikes.
