Exclusive: 2 months after declaring all US troops are leaving Syria, President Trump wrote to members of Congress that he now agrees '100%' with keeping a military presence in Syria.
The Syrian Democratic Forces continue to battle ISIS in the small area of land they still control in the Middle Euphrates River Valley in Syria. U.S. military officials say the battle to re-take the final part of the town of Baghuz still held by ISIS has been slowed by the exodus of thousands of civilians and the terror group's use of some women and children as human shields.
Late last month, White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders confirmed that some U.S. troops will stay in Syria after the SDF finish clearing out Baghuz. "A small peace keeping group of about 200 will remain in Syria for period of time," Sanders said in a one-sentence statement. U.S. military officials have since confirmed the residual force could be double that and that some U.S. troops could stay in the northeastern part of the country, and others in southern Syria.
