"The United States welcomes the announcement by the Danish Government to make a military deployment to Syria in support of Operation Inherent Resolve and to continue to share the burden and responsibilities of this important mission," Hoffman said.

According to Sputnik he added: "Our Danish partners will work with the residual US military force in northeast Syria to support stability and security."

Earlier this year, the US admitted that forces of the coalition had killed at least 1,319 civilians during operations against terrorists in Syria and Iraq since August 2014.

The two countries became a foothold for the US-led coalition of more than 70 countries to carry out military operations against the IS. The coalition's operations were not authorized either by Syrian President Bashar al-Assad or the UN Security Council.
