The program has been running since 2013 and is aimed at influencing the Syrian president and forcing him to step down. At the same time, the program has been criticized in the US for being ineffective.

According to the newspaper's own sources, Mr. Trump decided to close this program in June after meeting with CIA Director Mike Pompeo and national security adviser Herbert McMaster. The CIA and the White House declined to comment on this information.

However, the program to train officers to fight against the IS terrorist group continues to operate.
