The US President Donald Trump will make a significant announcement on the status of the fight against the ISIS in Syria during his State of the Union Address next week, the Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has said.
Trump is scheduled to deliver the State of the Union Address in a joint session of the US Congress on February 5.
"The President will make a significant announcement, I think, in the State of the
Union next week with respect to the status of the caliphate, the real estate, the grounds from which ISIS had been operating in Syria when this administration came in," Pompeo told Fox News in an interview.
Pompeo also informed that Trump would host foreign ministers of the "Global Coalition to Defeat the ISIS" and have discussions with them.
"You remember prisoners in cages, people kneeling on the beaches and being beheaded. This was tragic.
Next week on February 6, he is hosting foreign ministers of the "Global Coalition to Defeat the ISIS" for an in-depth discussion on defeating them," he said.
