US will be coming out of Syria 'very soon',Trump says

President Donald Trump said Thursday that the U.S. will withdraw its troops from Syria very soon and let other people take care of it.

Speaking at an event in Ohio, Trump said: "We're knocking the hell out of ISIS. We'll be coming out of Syria, like, very soon," using an alternate acronym for Daesh terror group.

"We'll be coming out of Syria very soon. Let the other people take care of it now ... We're going to have 100 percent of the caliphate, as they call it, sometimes referred to as land. We're taking it all back."

Trump also slammed U.S. spending in the Middle East, calling it futile and argued that it detracts from domestic spending.

"We spent $7 trillion in the Middle East and you know what we have for it? Nothing," he said.

Trump's comments came amid talks between Turkish and U.S. officials over deciding a roadmap for Manbij, including the withdrawal of the PKK terrorist group's Syrian affiliate People's Protection Units (YPG) and the return of U.S. weapons provided to the terror group.

Turkish officials said earlier that they expect the U.S. to act in accordance with the common understanding reached by both sides.
