Washington Post | U.S. reaffirms commitment to withdrawing troops from Iraq
The United States intends to continue withdrawing troops from Iraq, it said in a statement late Thursday, after the two countries began talks on the future of their strategic relationship.
Seventeen years after the U.S.-led invasion of Iraq, the talks, which began Thursday, focus on a wide range of issues. Thorniest among them is the question of foreign troop presence: Iraq’s parliament has urged the U.S.-led coalition to leave, and Prime Minister Mustafa al-Kadhimi is under pressure to satisfy that demand without risking security gaps that Islamic State fighters might exploit. |
