We all know the recent progress in defeating ISIS. But how successful is it?
"Nearly a third of territory reclaimed from the Islamic State in Iraq and Syria since 2014 has been won in the past six months, due to new policies adopted by the Trump administration, a senior State Department official said Friday". "About 8,000 square miles have been reclaimed under Trump, McGurk said in a briefing for reporters".
Note, this McGurk worked in the state Dept. under Obama too. His giving the credit to Trump is not because of partisan.
