Vice President Mike Pence said the United States would fight to ensure the defeat of ISIS but reiterated plans to pull troops out of Syria after an attack there killed US service members.
"We'll stay in the region and we'll stay in the fight to ensure that ISIS does not rear its ugly head again," Mr Pence told a gathering in Washington of US ambassadors stationed around the world.
"We will protect the gains that our soldiers and our coalition partners have secured," he told the meeting at the State Department.

Despite the pledge of support, Mr Pence double-downed on President Donald Trump's controversial declaration in December that the United States would pull all of its 2,000 troops from Syria.
"Thanks to the leadership of this commander-in-chief and the courage and sacrifice of our coalition partners, we're now actually able to hand off the fight against ISIS in Syria to our coalition partners and we are bringing our troops home," he said.
"The caliphate has crumbled and ISIS has been defeated," he said, without referencing the attack earlier Wednesday.
The US-led coalition said US service members were among the dead in the suicide attack in the flashpoint city of Manbij, the first there against the international forces in 10 months.
ISIS claimed the attack.

How the UAE gratuity payment is calculated now
Employees leaving an organisation are entitled to an end-of-service gratuity after completing at least one year of service.
The tenure is calculated on the number of days worked and does not include lengthy leave periods, such as a sabbatical. If you have worked for a company between one and five years, you are paid 21 days of pay based on your final basic salary. After five years, however, you are entitled to 30 days of pay. The total lump sum you receive is based on the duration of your employment.
1. For those who have worked between one and five years, on a basic salary of Dh10,000 (calculation based on 30 days):
a. Dh10,000 ÷ 30 = Dh333.33. Your daily wage is Dh333.33
b. Dh333.33 x 21 = Dh7,000. So 21 days salary equates to Dh7,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service. Multiply this figure for every year of service up to five years.
2. For those who have worked more than five years
c. 333.33 x 30 = Dh10,000. So 30 days’ salary is Dh10,000 in gratuity entitlement for each year of service.
Note: The maximum figure cannot exceed two years total salary figure.
