US President Donald Trump at the upcoming negotiations with Vladimir Putin is going to agree with him on the transfer of the dictator of Bashar al -Southern Syria regions on the border with Jordan held by the opposition. According to CNN, citing two diplomatic sources, Trump spoke about this in negotiations with the king of Jordan Abdalla II.
With his proposal, Trump wants to speed up the withdrawal of American forces from Syria.
Washington expects that in return Russia and the Assad regime will not destroy the rebels and will allow them to leave the areas where hostilities are now underway.
The United States expects Moscow to create a new de-escalation zone in the south-west of Syria and will not allow the forces to be valid in the region. The withdrawal from Syria of the Striral Forces is a key condition for the departure of the US troops from the country, sources emphasize.
As noted, in Washington it is in doubt whether Moscow will fulfill the terms of agreement, even if Putin agrees to it. The situation with refugees and the further fate of the Assad regime also cause questions.
The Assad Army and Irregular Formations Loyal to the regime are offensive in the south-west of Syria with the support of Russian aviation, which strikes the positions of the rebels .
