Us Special Forces Personnel To Syria

President Donald Trump used a lightning visit to Iraq -- his first with US troops in a conflict zone since being elected -- to defend withdrawal from Syria and to declare an end to America's role as the global "policeman."

President Barack Obama said on Monday the US would send up to 250 more special forces and other military personnel to Syria to help rebels fight ISIS group jihadists.

The US will send special forces to Iraq and Syria to intensify fight against terrorist group ISIS, US Defense Secretary Ashton Carter has said, while calling on international community to step up the pace of its contributions to the fight.

The air campaign against the Islamic State group has made progress in degrading the terrorist organisation but will not be enough without local boots on the ground, the US air force secretary said today.
