Trump: Islamic State in Syria near 100 percent defeated
(Worthy News) – President Trump acknowledged Saturday a small contingent of U.S. troops will remain in Syria despite announcing last year his controversial decision to withdraw all American forces from the country.
“We’ll leave a small group of guys and gals, but we want to bring our people back home. We want to bring our people back home. It’s time,” Trump said during a speech at the Conservative Political Action Conference at National Harbor in Oxon Hill, Md. “We were going to be in Syria for four months. We ended up five years just fighting. They just like to fight.”
In Syria, specifically, the president said that as early as today 100 percent of the Islamic State’s caliphate in Syria and Iraq will be defeated by the U.S.-led coalition. [ Source: Washington Examiner (Read More…) ]
