Dutch Defense Minister Ank Bijleveld said on Friday she was "concerned about the administration's plans to withdraw from Syria," where the Netherlands supports the fight against IS, as Reuters reported.

She told reporters in Hague "IS mercenaries are not completely defeated and the danger is not over," She said that Washington's announcement plans to reduce its forces in Afghanistan is "premature" in the current  security situation.

The US president announced last Wednesday the withdrawal of US troops from Syria and said they had eliminated IS, but US officials and the allies in the international coalition against IS, strongly opposed this step in the presence of areas of territory under the control of IS.
