      White House to announce decision on U.S. troops in Syria: reports

      WASHINGTON, April 4 (Xinhua) -- The United States has made a decision on the future of its troops in Syria, and the White House will announce it soon, U.S. media cited the nation's intelligence chief as saying Wednesday.

      Dan Coats, director of national intelligence, told reporters that the decision has been made at an "all hands on deck" meeting on Tuesday of top U.S. national security officials.

      The White House will make the decision public "relatively soon," Coats added.

      U.S. President Donald Trump has recently reiterated his intention of bringing American troops back from Syria, saying that the fight against the extremist group Islamic State (IS) was almost done.

      "Our primary mission in terms of that was getting rid of ISIS (IS). We've almost completed that task and we'll be making a decision very quickly in coordination with others, as to what we'll do," Trump said Tuesday at a joint press conference at the White House with visiting leaders from three Baltic countries.

      "I want to bring our troops home," Trump added.

      The U.S. president also complained that the United States has spent seven trillion U.S. dollars in the Middle East in the past 17 years, which has brought "nothing, except death and destruction."

      Trump's remarks seemed to be at odds with opinions of the U.S. military. The Pentagon and the State Department have advised that a much longer-term effort is necessary to defeat the militant group.

      Also on Tuesday, Brett McGurk, special presidential envoy for the U.S.-led coalition to defeat the IS, said that the fight was not over.

      "We are in Syria to fight ISIS (IS)," he said at a public event in Washington. "That is our mission and that mission isn't over and we are going to complete that mission."
