President and first lady make surprise visit to Iraq

A photo tweeted by the President's spokeswoman showed the President, in a black overcoat and red tie, posing for a photo with troops in uniform. Mrs. Trump stood smiling next to him, wearing a mustard-colored blouse.
Trump has sought to distance himself from the foreign entanglements he describes as foolhardy mistakes made by his predecessors, including the war in Iraq. He recently ordered a drawdown of the 14,000 US troops in Afghanistan, and a complete withdrawal of 2,000 troops from Syria. He hasn't stated plans for the 5,000 or so American troops in Iraq, who returned to the country in 2014 to battle ISIS.
This story is breaking and will be updated.
