French Prime Minister Edouard Philippe delivers a speech at the National Assembly in Paris on October 7."We are going to be extremely careful that this announced disengagement from the United States and a possible offensive by Turkey does not create a dangerous [move] that diverts from the goal we all pursue—the fight against the Islamic State—which is dangerous for the local population," Minister of Armed Forces Florence Parly told French reporters after Trump's latest decision,.
France has faced a series of domestic attacks claimed by ISIS since the group rose to prominence in Syria and Iraq. In addition, many French citizens have been radicalized and have traveled to the Middle East to fight with the militant group.

The U.S. has backed the Kurds in Syria. Russia and Iran have also fought against ISIS while simultaneously bolstering Assad's forces.
