Having become infected with the “victorious spirit” of Donald Trump, who once spoke about the American victory over the Islamic state, US Secretary of State Michael Pompeo suddenly made a similar statement, CNN reports.
It is noteworthy that this speech comes just a week after the attack by several Islamic soldiers killed by the Islamic State in Syrian Manbij.
Nevertheless, the head of the State Department assured that the United States not only defeated the jihadists, but also “liberated” a significant part of the territories of the Arab Republic, which, however, had been under American occupation for several years.
“It should not go unnoticed that we also defeated the caliphate of the Islamic state in Syria and Iraq, together with more than six countries in the international coalition against ISIS,” Pompeo said, saying that “there is still a lot of work to do.”
Recall that earlier about the “victory” of Americans over the terrorists in Syria, said US President Donald Trump, after which he announced the withdrawal of the Armed Forces from the territory of the Arab Republic.
