WASHINGTON, Dec 19, 2018 – Donald Trump on Wednesday said the United States has “defeated ISIS in Syria,” appearing to respond to multiple reports of a US troop withdrawal from the war-ravaged country.
“We have defeated ISIS in Syria, my only reason for being there during the Trump Presidency,” the Republican president tweeted, just after CNN said the US was planning a “full” and “rapid” withdrawal of troops.
Trump agrees to shut down his embattled charity
President Donald Trump has agreed to shut down his personal charity, the Trump Foundation, which has been accused of engaging in “persistently illegal conduct,” the New York attorney general said Tuesday.
Attorney General Barbara Underwood said the Foundation would be dissolved and its remaining assets distributed to other charities.
“This is an important victory for the rule of law, making clear that there is one set of rules for everyone,” Underwood said in a statement.
