Pompeo: US will still lead fight against IS despite withdrawal
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe United States still plans to lead a global fight against the Islamic State movement despite its withdrawal from Syria, Secretary of State Mike Pompeo assures allies at a summit in Washington.
“America will continue to lead in giving those who would destroy us no quarter,” Pompeo tells a 79-nation conference, referring to the battle against the Islamic State group.
The conference comes amid fears that the impending US exit could imperil gains that have swept IS from more than 99 percent of the territory it once held in Iraq and Syria.
