U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday vowed to not allow a "reconstituted" Daesh to take over oil fields in northern Syria.
"The Oil Fields discussed in my speech on Turkey/Kurds yesterday were held by ISIS until the United States took them over with the help of the Kurds. We will NEVER let a reconstituted ISIS have those fields!" said Trump on Twitter, using another name for the Daesh terror group.
On Wednesday, Trump said Washington will keep "a small number" of U.S. troops will remain in Syria "where they have the oil."
The president did not specify where the troops would be stationed, nor how many he is considering, but said "we’re going to be protecting" the oil. "And we’ll be deciding what we’re going to do with it in the future.”
