U.S. President Donald Trump is preparing to put his “hybrid plan” in place in Syria, according to a new report from the Wall Street Journal.
The Wall Street Journal’s sources among U.S. officials claim the Trump Administration is attempting to establish an Arab force that would replace U.S. troops in the war-torn country.

America’s seven year regime change war on Syria has left nearly 13 million people displaced, and without a home.
