Trump Orders Troop Reduction In Afghanistan and Iraq

“Acting Defense Secretary Christopher Miller on Tuesday announced plans to reduce U.S. troop levels in Iraq and Afghanistan, saying the decision fulfills President Trump’s pledge to bring forces home when conditions were met that kept the U.S. and its allies safe,” the AP reports.

“The new plan will accelerate troop withdrawals from Iraq and Afghanistan in Trump’s final days in office, despite arguments from senior military officials in favor of a slower, more methodical pullout.”
