With the passage of the US defense budget bill in the Senate and the US Congress, the amount of Washington's assistance to the Syrian Kurdish forces has been determined. The 2022 US defense budget bill, signed by US President Joe Biden, provides $ 177 million for anti-ISIS programs in Syria.
Explaining the cost of this amount, it refers to the training and equipping of the Syrian Democratic Forces and even paying the salaries to these forces.
The United States has also dedicated some amount on issues such as securing camps controlled by Syrian Kurdish forces. Thousands of ISIS affiliates have been housed in the camps. However, the exact amount of the $ 177 million allocated to the Syrian Kurdish forces has not been determined, and the cost of equipping and training the so-called Maqawir forces stationed at the Tanf base in Syria is also included.
