Trump: Syrian territory IS completely recaptured

President Donald Trump said Thursday that Islamic State in Syria now also lost the last spot that was defended.

'We have just taken over the caliphate in Syria. You've always heard 90 percent, 92 percent, but now we have 100 percent, 'said Trump against soldiers on a base at Anchorage in Alaska. The Air Force One made a stopover there on the way back from Hanoi to refuel.

Earlier in the day, SDF commander Mazloum Kobani said in a video message that the 'total victory' on IS can be expected within a week.
