US unauthorized to have military presence in Syria: Journalist
As tensions between Russia and the US rise over the presence of American troops in Syria’s al-Tanf region, the world is once again looking into the legality of Pentagon’s deployments in the country.
“US troops shouldn’t be in Syria. They’ve got no United Nations’ mandate. They’ve got no mandate from the Congress and does it benefit the United States?” Tony Gosling, an investigative journalist, told Press TV on Friday.
“It’s time for the Americans to leave Syria,” Gosling added, underlining Russians’ statements that the deployment of American troops in Syria is illegal under international law.
Gosling also said that “slowly but surely the Americans have pushed out their intervention in Syria, which was really for their own interest.”
The United States does not have any mandate from the United Nations or even from the Congress to have a military presence in Syria, he emphasized.
The Pentagon says there are about 2,000 US troops in Syria.
