President Trump, presented to reporters a map of Syria, at the time he was elected president of the United States, in which red points were targeted at the numerous locations that the militant group controlled, and another modern-day map, which had no red points.

Here's your map. Congratulations”, Trump said before reporters.

However, United States officials told Reuters that the fighting has continued even during Thursday between the forces backed by the US and the so-called militant group Islamic State on the last territory they control.

Syrian Democratic Forces (SDF) have clashed during Thursday with militants hiding in the Baghouz region. Syrian forces have been supported by the United States-led coalition.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Sanders told reporters Friday at the White House that the militant group no longer maintains any territory in Syria.
