On Wednesday, the US president announced that the last Daesh stronghold in Syria “will be fone by tonight,” adding that some 400 US troops would remain in the country, with 200 of the military set to be deployed “closer to Israel.”
Reuters reported citing a Syrian Democratic Forces’ official that the Kurdish-led group has denied capturing the last Daesh* stronghold in Syria.
According to Trump, who earlier pledged to fully withdraw the US troops from Syria, 400 servicemen would still remain in the country, with 200 of them poised to be stationed in northeast Syria and 200 remaining at the US military base in al-Tanf.
