AP Analysis: Gulf Arab states worry after US Syria pullout:
For decades considered a U.S. national security priority, the Persian Gulf remains home to tens of thousands of American troops spread across sprawling bases protecting crucial routes for global energy supplies.
But while U.S.-Iran tensions in the Gulf appeared close to sparking a global conflagration this summer, attention now rapidly has shifted to Syria in a conflict that no less has impact here.
Countries across the Persian Gulf wonder what they should take away from President Donald Trump’s withdrawal of American forces from Syria after apparently acquiescing to Turkey’s invasion of Kurdish territory.
