In 2018, the focus of the campaign against ISIS shifted to eastern Syria, where a U.S.-backed coalition of Syrian Kurds and Arabs known as the Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) gradually captured key ISIS positions. But ISIS was still inspiring and carrying out attacks all over the world, including New York City. The Iraqi Prime Minister Haider al Abadi declared victory over the Islamic State in Iraq on December 9, 2017.

We will continue to support our partners & keep pressure on ISIS.Д«y December 2017, the ISIS caliphate had lost 95 percent of its territory, including its two biggest properties, Mosul, IraqвЂ™s second largest city, and the northern Syrian city of Raqqa, its nominal capital. We know this enemy is as adaptive and savvy as it is cruel and evil. More than 7.7 million people are now free, but this does NOT mark the end of the campaign. ISIS has lost nearly ALL the territory they once held. And in June 2016, a gunman who pledged support to ISIS killed at least four dozen people at a nightclub in Orlando, Florida.
