Iran-Linked Iraqi Lawmakers Condemn Surprise Trump Troop Visit
< >
U.S. President Donald Trump’s surprise visit to Iraq Wednesday reportedly prompted Iran-linked lawmakers and Tehran-allied militia leaders to condemn the move as a violation of Iraq’s sovereignty and demanded that the United States withdraw its estimated 5,200 troops from the country.
On Wednesday, President Trump and his wife, First Lady Melania Trump, thanked American service members for their sacrifice when they landed at an airbase west of the Iraqi capital of Baghdad and spent three hours with the troops.
In the wake of Trump’s visit, which Iraqi politicians derided as “arrogant and a violation of Iraqi sovereignty,” Iraqi lawmakers ordered U.S. forces to leave the country.
