'100%' of ISIS territory will be reclaimed as early as next week: Trump
- 5 years ago
U.S. President Donald Trump says one hundred percent of the territory once held by the ISIS militants in Iraq and Syria... will have been officially reclaimed as early as next week.
Trump made the statement during his speech to the Global Coalition to Defeat ISIS on Wednesday at the U.S. State Department,... praising the territorial gains made against the terror group.
Trump's comments came... after U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo told coalition partners that the withdrawal of U.S. military forces from the region... did not signify the end of America's fight.
Back in December 2018, Trump announced a plan to withdraw the U.S. military in Syria,... a decision that unsettled its allies at the time.
