International News
Trump (I know, I know, but just hear me out) launched a mission against Isis leader, Al-Baghdadi, which ended in his death. This comes as a surprise as the troops who did it were in fact placed in Northern syria. Although trump pulled SOME troops out of Syria, American troops in Northern Syria have hurt ISIS greatly with this attack. ISIS, a group which is known for its wickedness), mourns the loss of their wicked leader, but they are by no means reduced to nothing at this point. They have been hurt by the Trump administration greatly, but have recuperated and have already got a new leader.
