No group has claimed responsibility for the attack, and the identity of the gunman has not been released.

Mr. Trump, speaking to reporters outside the White House before departing for the Army-Navy football game in Baltimore, said the three service members wounded “seem to be doing well.”

“We mourn the loss of three great patriots in Syria,” he said, adding: “Syria was fighting along with us. The president of Syria is devastated. This is an ISIS attack. We mourn the loss. We pray for their parents and loved ones.”

When asked if the U.S. would respond if forces were attacked again, Mr. Trump said: “We will retaliate.”

U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth said in a X post on Saturday that the “savage who perpetrated this attack was killed by partner forces.”

“Let it be known, if you target Americans — anywhere in the world — you will spend the rest of your brief, anxious life knowing the United States will hunt you, find you, and ruthlessly kill you,” he wrote.
