Trump said Islamic State will suffer its final territorial defeat in Syria by the evening, an assertion that wasn't confirmed by Pentagon officials
WASHINGTON—President Trump said the Islamic State extremist group would suffer its final territorial defeat by Wednesday evening, even as U.S.-backed fighters in Syria were still completing the battle against the militants.
Speaking to reporters before traveling to Ohio, Mr. Trump held up an image of two maps, one depicting how much territory was under Islamic State control on Election Day in 2016, and the second showing the small area that remained as of Wednesday.
