> President Trump said U.S. troops are leaving Iraq, which he described as ending an “excursion into hell,” while praising the country’s “wonderful” prime minister. Iraqis celebrated the departure, but many feared a security vacuum could strengthen Iran-backed militias or allow Islamic State to return.
