A US presidential spokesperson says President Donald Trump still wants US troops to pull out of Syria as soon as possible.
White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders made the remark in a statement on Sunday, one day after the airstrikes on Syria by the United States, Britain and France.
She said the US mission in Syria has not changed and the president has been clear that he wants US forces to come home as quickly as possible.
She said the US is determined to completely crush the Islamic State militant group and create the conditions that will prevent its return.
She added that the US expects its regional allies and partners to take greater responsibility, both militarily and financially, for securing the region.
On April 3rd, Trump expressed his wish to bring US troops back home from Syria soon, citing their successful operation against the Islamic State group.
The US has about 2,000 troops in Syria.
France and other countries are calling for the US to continue its military mission.

The US ambassador to the United Nations says her country will impose more sanctions on Russia early this week for allegedly enabling the Syrian government to use chemical weapons.
Speaking to US media on Sunday, Nikki Haley said Syrian President Bashar al-Assad "got reckless" and used chemical weapons as he "knew that Russia had its back."
The new sanctions are expected to target individuals and entities that are suspected of involvement in Syria's chemical weapons program. The punishments will likely invite a backlash from Russia.
Last month, the US government expelled 60 Russian diplomats in response to the alleged attempted assassination of a former Russian spy and his daughter in Britain.
The US government also slapped sanctions on 38 Russian individuals and entities on April 6th. The targets included senior government officials and companies close to President Vladimir Putin.

US President Donald Trump has harshly criticized former FBI director James Comey over his forthcoming memoir, which reportedly contains criticism of the president.
Comey was dismissed by the president in May last year while he was leading an FBI probe into the suspected links between Trump's election campaign team and Russia.
In his new book, Comey reportedly compares the president to a mafia boss and accuses him of constantly lying.
Comey also told ABC News that the reopening of the investigation into Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Clinton's emails was disclosed just before the 2016 election because he expected her to win.
Comey said he thought that if he had hidden the information from the American people, she would be illegitimate if she was elected.
Trump criticized Comey on Twitter on Sunday, calling him a "slimeball." He said Comey's decision was based on the fact that he thought Clinton was going to win.
Trump also said Comey will go down as the worst FBI director in history.
Comey testified at a congressional hearing last year that he understood Trump had asked the FBI to drop its investigation of the president's former national security advisor, Michael Flynn.

Japan's Finance Ministry says a top bureaucrat is denying a weekly magazine's report alleging that he had sexually harassed female reporters.
The weekly Shukan Shincho reported last week that Administrative Vice Minister Junichi Fukuda repeatedly made remarks to several female reporters that could be taken as sexual harassment.
The ministry on Monday announced the results of its questioning of Fukuda and how the ministry plans to deal with the matter.
Fukuda said in the hearing that he made no such remarks, and that the report is not true. He also said he is preparing to sue the magazine's publisher for defamation.
The vice minister indicated that he had no intention of resigning, saying he will steadily continue his duties.
The Finance Ministry said it will commission a lawyer to continue its investigation into the matter so as to secure objectivity.
The ministry also called for cooperation from the female reporters who engaged in the conversations mentioned in the magazine article.

Researchers at Japanese electronics maker Hitachi are studying a new method to help people detect cancer at an early stage. The idea is to screen urine samples mailed from home.
The researchers have been working on the method for 3 years. They've checked about 2,000 biological waste materials in urine and found several biomarkers tied to cancer.
Hitachi says it plans to launch an experiment this month to improve the accuracy of the screening method. It's teaming up with Nagoya University Hospital to find out whether test results could be affected by temperature changes and time required for delivery of samples.
Hitachi says a urine test is less intrusive than the standard blood test currently used in cancer screening.
The company plans to start practical use of the test method in the early 2020s.
Hitachi's senior official Shinji Yamada says he believes a mail-in urine test will make it easier for many people to undergo screening, including infants.
