Trump Vows Retaliation After U.S. Soldiers Killed in Syria

President Trump vowed retaliation following the deaths of two U.S. Army soldiers and a civilian interpreter in an ambush in Syria. The attack occurred in the central Syrian town of Palmyra, where an ISIS gunman opened fire with an automatic weapon, resulting in the fatalities and injuries of three additional U.S. soldiers, according to Fox News.

Trump expressed his condolences over the loss of 'three Great American Patriots' and indicated that there would be 'very serious retaliation' against ISIS, emphasizing the incident as an attack in a dangerous part of Syria not fully controlled by the group.

Preliminary reports suggest the attacker had prior affiliations with Syrian government forces before connecting with ISIS, as stated by a senior U.S. official, who confirmed that the gunman was not part of the delegation being escorted by U.S. and Syrian troops.
