President Trump and first lady Melania Trump makes surprise visit to US troops and senior military leadership in Iraq
President Trump and the first lady appeared in Iraq on Wednesday for a surprise visit with troops and senior military leadership at Al Asad Air Base, where he said he has "no plans at all" to remove any of the 5,000 U.S. troops from the country.
Trump's visit -- his first as president to a combat zone -- comes on the heels of his announcement about pulling troops out of Syria and the rumored removal of thousands of troops in Afghanistan.
Trump's surprise visit to the region came a week after he declared ISIS had been defeated in Syria in a tweet and ordered all American diplomats and soldiers out of the country.
The U.S. first deployed troops to Syria in 2015 during the Obama administration as part of a partnership with Kurdish-led forces against ISIS. A year before the deployment, U.S. airstrikes also began in Syria.

Donald and Melania make us proud, again.
May God continue to bless and strengthen them during these crazy times!
Earlier today there were Internet postings that AF-1 was flying over Europe. Hard to hide these kind of things anymore.
Now the libtards will rag on him because he said he was staying in DC because of the shutdown.
Trump lied to us. Again. /s/
And yet ANOTHER item on the list of things to criticize the President gets obliterated!!!
Way to go POTUS.
Keep Making America Great
I also expect some to criticize the clothing choices for POTUS and FLOTUS, for this visit to troops.
Oh they’ll rag on him 6 ways from Sunday. I heard the snarky radio woman say that Iraq was of course not as dangerous as when W and Obama went there !!!
Thanks Kaslin. He's winning over A) the troops and B) everyone who wants the troops home. Even those who don't like him won't hold this against him, and it weakens 2020 turnout for the Demagogic Party. Ever campaign ad is going to repeat the video of the Obama cadre and the rest of the Demwit jokers like Wesley Clark criticizing bringing the troops home.
The secret was kept. Seems like Trump has good security.
I like having an unpredictable POTUS who’s on our side.
WINNING! I’m so proud of them both.
But they did not have to land under snipper fire like the Hildabeast!
I was in the Veterans Hospital in Long Beach because of a TIA event and had to listen to one of the nurses talk about how Trump was a loser, the first president to spend Christmas alone in the White House, etc., along with all the usual TDS trash.
Ouch, MF’r.
