WASHINGTON (UrduPoint News / Sputnik - 20th March, 2019) US President Donald Trump told reporters on Wednesday that the remaining stronghold of the Islamic State (banned in Russia) terror group in Syria will be eliminated by Wednesday night.

"This is a map of everything in red, this was on election night in 2016.

Everything red is ISIS [Islamic State]. When I took it over it was a mess," Trump said demonstrating the map of the Islamic State-held territory. "Now, on the bottom, that's the exact same [map], there is no red. The fact is actually a tiny spot, which will be gone by tonight."
