The United States President,
Donald Trump has declared that the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) will
be eliminated from its last territory in Syria by Thursday.
Trump, who spoke at the White
House, announced that the last of the Islamic State’s territory in Syria was
currently being liberated by US-backed forces and that the situation would be
resolved “by tonight”.
While holding maps of ISIS’
territory in Iraq and Syria before and after his election, Trump pointed to a
very small portion of the map that was currently being held by the terrorist
group.
The U.S. leader then declared
that by the end of Thursday, “the mission will be complete”.
“I brought this out for you
because – this is a map of everything in the red, this was on election night in
2016.
“Everything red is ISIS. When I
took over, it was a mess.
“Now, on the bottom, that’s the
exact same: There is no red. In fact, there is actually a tiny spot, which will
be gone by tonight.
“So this is ISIS on Election Day,
my Election Day, and this is ISIS now. So that’s the way it goes.
“This just came out 20 minutes
ago,’’ he said.
NAN reports that Trump later
showed off the maps on his Twitter handle comparing the territory ISIS seized
before his election in 2016, and the small portion the terrorist group now
occupied.
“ISIS Caliphate two years ago in
red vs. ISIS Caliphate TODAY. (Was even worse in November 2016 before I took
office),” Trump tweeted.
