U.S. troops in Syria are currently assisting a coalition of rebel groups known as the Free Syrian Army, which are one of several forces fighting ISIS in Syria. While the terrorist groups self-declared caliphate has crumbled, it remains active in planning attacks in the desert area straddling Iraq and Syria.

Russia praised the move, saying it opened the door for a political solution.

The White House confirmed in a statement Wednesday after Trumps tweet that the administration has started returning United States troops home but emphasized that coalition efforts in Syria would continue. It also reiterated Trump's claim that the United States has defeated the territorial caliphate.

We have started returning United States troops home as we transition to the next phase of this campaign," her statement said.
