President Trump hosted the inaugural meeting of the Board of Peace today, where he signaled a stark deadline for Iran.

Daily Wire senior editor Cabot Phillips reports.

President Trump spoke on the ongoing tensions in the Middle East, saying that peace in the Middle East won't exist as long as Iran has a nuclear weapon.

He then said they need to make a deal and that, quote, bad things will happen if they don't.

Here he is laying out a timeline.

The president also covered the success of the initiative to raise nearly $7 billion.

He touted the end of eight international conflicts so far and also the reconstruction efforts already underway in Gaza.

He went on to highlight leaders present in the room who have recently helped end conflicts between their countries, mentioning Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as Pakistan and India.

Thank you, everybody.

The U.S.

is withdrawing all remaining troops from Syria.

Daily Wire reporter Tim Pierce has more.

Following a decade-long presence to combat the Islamic State, the final 1,000 troops remaining in Syria will be withdrawn over the next two months.

A senior administration official clarified that the U.S.

would still be able to respond to a resurgence of the Islamic State in the region, but that a standing presence of U.S.

troops is no longer necessary.

The Trump administration instead plans to foster strengthened diplomatic relations with newly situated Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharra, who will now take on an increased role in ensuring security in the region.

As President Trump prepares to deliver his State of the Union address next Tuesday, some congressional Democrats are planning to protest or skip the speech altogether.

Daily Wire congressional reporter Breka Stoll has the details.
