WASHINGTON (Reuters) – President Donald Trump said on Tuesday the United States knows the location of the third in command to Islamic State leader Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, who was killed last month in a U.S.-led raid.
“We have our eye on his third,” Trump said during the question and answer session following a speech at the Economic Club of New York. “His third has got a lot of problems because we know where he is too.”
