White House offers no details on Syria

The White House said today the United States remains committed to the defeat of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, but offered no details on the future of U.S. military involvement.

"The military mission to eradicate ISIS in Syria is coming to a rapid end, with ISIS being almost completely destroyed," according to a White House statement. "The United States and our partners remain committed to eliminating the small ISIS presence in Syria that our forces have not already eradicated."

The White House says the United States will "continue to consult with our allies and friends regarding future plans" for the U.S. role in Syria.

"We expect countries in the region and beyond, plus the United Nations, to work toward peace and ensure that ISIS never re-emerges," the statement adds.

Meanwhile, a White House press conference has been scheduled for 2:30 p.m. today.

Earlier today, Director of National Intelligence Dan Coats said President Trump made a decision yesterday on U.S. involvement in Syria and expected an announcement "relatively soon." It is unclear if the most recent White House statement will be the final word on the matter.

Meanwhile, several news outlets reported that senior administration officials have said Trump has ordered the military to begin planning to withdraw U.S. troops, but has not given a deadline.

Trump on Tuesday said he wanted to order U.S. troops to leave Syria, despite statements from Gen. Joseph Votel, the head of U.S. Central Command, that an ongoing military presence would be required to keep ISIS from reappearing

"I want to get out," Trump said at a White House press conference. "I want to bring our troops back home."
