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.

HOORAY President Donald J. Trump!
They sure do, unlike that arrogant pos former occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave and his spouse........................... I commented to the wife tonight, look at all those happy faces at the Iraq base, they didn’t have the look of “Oh yeah he’s here, yay.” If CNN was there they would search out the grumpiest troopers, record their complaints about DJT and played them over ad nauseum on the news for a week. Those Trumps were soooo happy, God bless them all, the long , the tall and the short. (Had to add that from the old days when my relatives came home from the big one.)
Wonderful President!
And First Lady Melania
Well. That is understood.
I got, “He’s playing golf” grrrrrr leftist assholes
