Trump indicated that a decision on the future of US policy in #Syria is coming soon in remarks made at a press conference with his Polish counterpart.
Speaking alongside President Andrzej Duda, Trump said the Monday night downing of a Russian maritime surveillance plane by accidental Syrian friendly fire was "a very sad thing". Trump's remarks did not include criticism of #Putin, and seemed to signal regret over Monday nights dramatic escalation over Syria after a massive Israeli attack. Earlier in the day Tuesday, Russia had pointed the finger at Israel for purposefully provoking the mishap, something Israel has since denied in a military statement that ultimately put blame on Assad, Aran, and Hezbollah.
Trump also said that the US fight against 
ISIS in Syria could end soon: "We're very close to being finished with that job," he said of the Pentagon mission against ISIS.
He followed with: "And then were going to make a determination as to what were going to do." This follows a major Washington Post story two weeks ago, quoting administration insiders.
