U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday defended his Middle East policy, as he comes under bipartisan criticism over his administration's move to withdraw U.S. troops from northeast Syria and an agreement for a 120-hour pause to a Turkish incursion of the area.
"ISIS is totally under control and we're continuing to capture more," Trump said, using an acronym for Islamic State. He spoke at a ribbon-cutting ceremony for a factory in Texas.
