Washington, Dec. 13, (SANA) U.S. President Donald Trump said that the assault that targeted Syrian security forces and U.S. troops near the city of Palmyra earlier today was a terrorist attack perpetrated by the ISIS organization against both the United States and Syria, stressing that the response would be severe.
In a post on the Truth Social platform, Trump said: “We mourn the loss of three great American patriots in Syria — two soldiers and one civilian interpreter — and we pray for the three wounded soldiers who have just been confirmed to be in good condition.”
He added: “This was a terrorist attack by ISIS against the United States and Syria, in a highly dangerous area of Syria that is not fully under control. the Syrian President Ahmad al-Sharaa is extremely angry and disturbed by this attack, and there will be a very strong response. Thank you for your attention to this matter.”
