-led project, the eradication of isis. preempt had unified -- president obama unified the world against iran. even russia and china were working side by side with the united states to constrict iran's nuclear program. and with the nuclear agreement secured, this global coalition had essentially been teed up for president trump to be used to make new progress to pressure iran on a next set of concessions, on their ballistic missile program or their support for terrorist proxies across the region. but president trump threw this all away. and now despite the sanctions that he's imposed unilaterally, iran is more powerful than ever. we went from a construct in which we had the united states, europe, china and russia aligned against iran to a moment today where on many issues it is iran, the european union, china and russia. how much ground have we lost? we've kind of lost sight of iran's provocative actions because since the strike in iraq against our troops, we haven't had front page headlines about what iran is doing. but le

we totally defeated the isis caliphate in syria and iraq and it is 100%. we have thousands and thousands of prisoners, isis prisoners and it has really been something that has been rather incredible and we did that rather quickly because when we came in as an administration it was all over and we have 100% of the caliphate. they are bloodthirsty, they are horrible, the founder and leader, our baghdadi, trying to rebuild isis is now dead, got him and that was a big thing. that was a big thing and not an easy thing. he was hiding a have been after him for 15 years but we got him. my administration is putting unprecedented pressure on traffickers at home and abroad and we are freeing innocent victims at every single turn. i was proud to be the first commander-in-chief to attend a meeting of the president's interagency task force established by the trafficking victims protection act of 2000. in november i was the first president to sign an executive order to establish a task force on missing and murdered american indians and alaska natives, just signed it. and

. —— in defeating isis. what about... many people think it was a strategic mistake for president trump to begin this drawdown of us forces in terms of degrading isis's long term ability to fight in the region. the coalition has more than 30 nations to contribute troops to the mission to contribute troops to the mission to defeat isis in iraq and syria and the strength of our coalition, and the strength of our coalition, and the partnership is what makes us both credible and capable. the second prong of our mission is to help the iraqis outside the barbed wire to defeat isis remnants, to catch sleeper cells and isis from the crimes they have been committing, harassing and conducting terrorism. but as we mentioned in the introduction, there are talks of imminent escalation of the conflict and there are grave concerns for refugees, many of them children. so is this a time when the us should be stepping back in, whatever —— right in whatever form? isis operate in the eastern part of syria, but we are keeping

[cheers and applause] every nation has the right to secure and controlled borders. the united states and india are committed to working together to stop terrorists and to fight their ideology.

truck used in the attack was found less than a 1000 feet from an isis execution site. you know it did reminds me of something it's it's almost like the united states government was ignoring the on the ground evidence in order to justify military action against iran. like they did with the rock and i'm a lover. like i said on a long enough timeline the truth will always come forward now let's start watching the hawks. on a city street. or so you would see. this is joyce state. rice grace suggests least systemic deception is to late show which is some real. world woman watching the hard. for him joining me today to discuss this new twist is what a democratic strategist should cross and we should thank you very much for coming on boy oh boy this is an interesting twist to that story we've been told over and over again right it's absolutely interesting but not exactly surprising what would have been surprising is president trump coming out and proclaiming that this was instigated after saying bad he had eradicated i think that's a really hard thing to do when you've spent

isis will continue to exploit teams where it can in an out of the region. continue --l attempt to tease instability of the region to reconstitute its external plotting capability. a fourth threat is a festering instability. long-standing underlying tensions of the region, corrections, poor governance, disenfranchisement, economic toxic sectarian narratives among others are ever present. a difficult in position. while there is not yet a national push for u.s. departure, the protest continue under a new prime minister and a weak government. some have surmised, you difficult for the kurds and sunnis to block concerted she push for u.s. departure. -- shia push for u.s. departure. iraq will likely remain -- iran will likely remain. syria is at a difficult juncture and this should be significant concern about whether the regime could control and isis resurgence while the conflict and tension in the northeast part of the country seems to have subsided and perhaps even stabilized to some degree, the outlook and other areas is not good. idlib is a significant disast

troops still in syria, on the hunt for isis when the confrontation happened. this video showing local supporters of the syrian regime opening fire at a u.s. convoy. abc's james longman from syria tonight. >> reporter: tonight, american troops attacked in syria. u.s. military vehicles, their flags clearly visible, stopped at a syrian regime checkpoint. gunmen opening fire. a child runs away in the chaos. one gunman killed and another wounded. this is the first time the u.s. has been directly engaged by a government-backed group here. we've been on the ground here in syria with the u.s. military, who is still working to keep the peace in syria's complex civil war. you get a sense of just how ferocious this attack must have been. take a look at how badly damaged the turret is, and the gunner who was in there was covered in oil after those gunmen tried to set fire to this vehicle. these american soldiers are some of only a few hundred left. in october, president trump ordered the pullout of all u.s. forces. but the decision was reversed after international outcry

isis, hds largely being syria. there are some more fighters there. without any foreign soil, the small number that are perceived to be a threat have been assassinated by missiles. i think this is probably the way to go. can be assassinated but overall the foreign fighters who are there, are small and decreasing rapidly. these units, these factions, there has been concentration in the latest offense of. earlier this week an entire is back -- is back -- was destroyed. if they start watching something else, the us comes in. assuming they -- that seems to be the solution. you shouldn't let hundreds of foreign fighters, maybe thousands but in the low thousands from the fact that there are 3 million civilians there, should not pay the price for having them come into the area by getting bombed and displaced. i want to mention something about these questions. -- >> i want to mention something about these questions. they are very important but when the media focuses on these issues, the fact that you have hundreds of terror

have isis, daesh, and other isis will be dealt with from the assurances of the taliban. not a partyesh is to this agreement and nobody suspected it would be, how do we see that particular dynamic playing out with regards to the thece process and stability of afghanistan and our own interests? ms. flournoy: isis and others that are not part of the talks can be spoilers in their own right. my understanding, though i have not read any of the texts, is the taliban has made a esh, alent to fight da qaeda, any of these groups in the territory it controls. it acknowledged the u.s. led coalitions in the partnership will continue counterterrorism operations against isis, al qaeda, and others in the territories that are under afghan government control. area where we an will need to see the taliban actually step up to its commitments. the fact that general miller has expressed that he is comfortable with this goes a long way with me. he is a very strong commander and someone who's got many many years of experience and is clear eyed and realistic in his assessments of what is happen
