France and the United States are committed to stamping out ISIL militants after two presidents spoke on the phone, Emmanuel Macron's office said on Wednesday.
The Elysee Palace said the two countries are determined to pursue their actions within the international coalition to fight to the end this terrorist organization.
Earlier on Wednesday, President Donald Trump said he wants to keep US troops in Syria a little longer, a senior official from the White House told reporters.
The official said the US president wants to ensure ISIL militants are defeated but wants other countries in the region and the United Nations to step up and help provide stability in Syria.
