The White House spokesperson admitted, however, that there would be "limitations" to the reports. "I’m not suggesting that the president's going to be in a position to be fully transparent about every single operation that we've undertaken against terrorists and I think that's for obvious reasons," Earnest said.
"There will obviously be some limitations about where we can be transparent given a variety of sensitivities including diplomatic ones," Earnest added.
Assistant to the President for Homeland Security and Counterterrorism Lisa Monaco said on Monday that the administration would soon release the first assessment report, but that it would likely exclude casualties from Syria and Iraq where the US-led coalition has been carrying out airstrikes against Islamic State insurgents since 2014.
