US President Donald Trump has ordered the withdrawal of nearly all US troops from Somalia helping local forces battle al-Shabab and Islamic State militants, the Pentagon has said.<\/p>\n

US officials said some of the troops would move to neighbouring countries, allowing for cross-border operations.<\/p>\n

In recent months President Trump has issued similar orders to reduce US forces in Iraq and Afghanistan.<\/p>\n

He has long called for US troops to come home and has criticised US military interventions for being costly and ineffective.<\/p>\n

The withdrawal order – which would see troops redeployed just days before Mr Trump leaves office – reverses the policy of former US defence secretary Mark Esper, who was sacked last month and favoured maintaining the US presence in Somalia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
