    Returned to Washington this afternoon after a ten-day visit to #Iraq, #Syria, #Kuwait, and #Brussels. Some highlights ...

        In #Iraq, intensive meetings with PM Abadi in #Baghdad and then KRG PM Nechirvan Barzani, DPM Qubad Talabani in #Erbil. Welcomed their important meeting two days later in Baghdad. U.S. encouraging swift resolution of outstanding issues.pic.twitter.com/bjx84022Ik

        Next spent two days in #Syria, including downtown #Raqqa. Significant change from a visit only two months ago. Consulted with @ERT_Raqqa, which employs local Raqqawis to clear rubble and deliver services to returnees. Our @coalition and @StateDept proud to support them.pic.twitter.com/Q7gqfphF3X

        The ERT in coordination with Raqqa Civilian Council hope to have sixty percent of the population returned by summer. IEDs left behind by #ISIS most significant challenge, but clear signs of recovery in many areas. Historic landmarks like 8th-century era Baghdad Gate still intact.pic.twitter.com/spdhw5Vspy

        Stopped at bustling “King Falafel” in downtown #Raqqa for lunch. Grateful for the hospitality, inspired by optimism of local Raqqawis bringing their home city back to life after #ISIS. (Shawarma is also quite excellent.) Video from sidewalk -pic.twitter.com/Fp49E2ViZN

        Brett McGurk Retweeted Department of State

        As Secretary Tillerson discussed last week, the U.S. will stay in #Syria to ensure the enduring defeat of ISIS and help stabilize liberated areas. We cannot afford a vacuum for ISIS to exploit, particularly in notorious safe havens along Iraq-Syria border.https://twitter.com/statedept/status/953725614694965248 …

        Brett McGurk Retweeted OIR Spokesman

        Still significant fighting in this eastern border region. Probably 2-3 months of major ops left before shifting to stabilization and internal security. Airstrikes killed 150 ISIS terrorists on Saturday. Direct hit on ISIS HQ after weeks of intel collect.https://twitter.com/oirspox/status/955874980473995267 …

        Precision strikes by @CJTFOIR killed nearly 150 ISIS terrorists near As Shafah, Syria on Jan. 20. Our SDF partners are still making daily progress and sacrifices, & together we continue finding, targeting & killing ISIS terrorists in the middle Euphrates River Valley.#defeatDaesh pic.twitter.com/HTL0wYRlnN

        #Afrin situation developed as we were leaving. US now engaged intensively to urge restraint and de-escalation. We are prepared to work with Turkey on legitimate security concerns, but prolonged operation risks giving life to ISIS as its on verge of defeat. @POTUS readout -pic.twitter.com/vYqtXEcqW2

        In #Kuwait, consulted with DPM/FM Sabah on situation in Syria, thanked Kuwait for its extraordinary support to our @coalition, and discussed upcoming coalition meetings and Iraq reconstruction conference in Kuwait City. We cannot succeed without our key ally Kuwait.pic.twitter.com/ra8GxUVred
