Trump told supporters at an Ohio event:

"We're knocking the hell out of ISIS. We'll be coming out of Syria like very soon. Let the other people take care of it now."

"We are going to have 100% of the caliphate, as they call it, sometimes referred to as land ... But we are going to be coming out of there real soon. We are going to get back to our country, where we belong, where we want to be."

Some officials confirm the U.S can't leave now because there no plan what to do with the arrested 400 foreign ISIS fighters currently being held by the US-backed Syrian Democratic Forces.





Chief Pentagon spokesperson, Dana White told reporters that:

"our commitment to win must outlast the so-called physical caliphate, and the warped ideas that guide the calculated cruelty of ISIS."

"We must not relent on ISIS or permit these terrorists to recover from their battlefield loses."

"important work remains to guarantee the lasting defeat of these violent extremists."

Secretary of Defense James Mattis told reporters that:

"The Turkish actions in northern Syria -- let me be specific here -- Afrin area have distracted the (Syrian Democratic Forces) from the fight going against the remnants of ISIS."
