Some US troops may stay in Syria

The US is considering keeping some US troops in north eastern Syria - to prevent oil from falling into the hands of the Isalmic State.

Defense secretary Mark Esperanto said about 1,000 soldiers would be redeployed in the region and that some may stay in Syria.

President Donald Trump has previously pledged to bring US troops home.
