The declaration came on the heels of a slew of reports that the U. S. military is planing a complete withdrawal of its forces in Syria — reversing its policy as the declining threat of the Islamic State has been supplanted by increasing tensions with other world powers in the region
President Donald Trump declared in a tweet Wednesday that the U. S. mission to defeat the Islamic State in Syria has been accomplished.
Defeating the Islamic militant group in the region, he said, was „my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency.“
The declaration came on the heels of several reports that the U. S. military is planning a complete withdrawal of its forces in Syria in a reversal of U. S. policy as the declining threat of the Islamic State has been supplanted by increasing tensions with other world powers in the region.
