KEILAR: The top U.S. commander in the Middle East appears to be directly contradicting President Trump's claim that ISIS in Syria has been destroyed. General Joseph Votel says the fight against ISIS is far from over.</s>GENERAL JOSEPH VOTEL, COMMANDER, U.S. CENTRAL COMMAND: I'm kind of aligned with the Intelligence Committee on this. They've talked about tens of thousands that have been dispersed and disaggregated from the area. They're dispersed and disaggregated, but there's leadership there. There are fighters there. There are facilitators there. They have, still have some access to resources. And of course, they still maintain this kind of perverse ideology.</s>KEILAR: The interview with our Barbara Starr, our Pentagon correspondent. Now President Trump promised to pull all 2000 U.S. troops out of Syria, but he recently also said he was prepared to send them back in, if ISIS or any other terror group regains strength in the region. That is it for me. NEWSROOM with Brooke Baldwin starts right now.</s>BROOKE BALDWIN, CNN ANCHOR: Hi. I'm Brooke Baldwin. You're watching CNN. Thank you for being with me.
