(Worthy News) – French President Emmanuel Macron is sending the country’s aircraft carrier and Navy flagship back to the Middle East, to underline France’s commitment to the ongoing campaign to defeat ISIS and ensure it does not reemerge as a threat.
In a speech to senior armed forces personnel in the southwestern city of Orleans, Macron also reaffirmed that French troops will remain in Iraq, although as from this week they will be regrouped into a single task force focused on both anti-ISIS operations and training the Iraqis, a change from the previous two separate ones.
Macron said that France was staying in the Middle East, unlike some countries that are pulling back from the region. [ Source: CNS News (Read More…) ]
