U.S. To End Combat Mission In Iraq

US troops in Iraq will transition to an advisory role by the end of 2021, as announced by President Biden and Iraqi Prime Minister Mustafa Al Academy. This marks a shift in the Biden administration's focus away from long-standing military conflicts, emphasizing counterterrorism and other areas like China. Despite the transition, the US remains confident in Iraqi security forces' ability to defend their country, although ISIS remains a threat. The Iraqi Prime Minister is under pressure to remove US troops, with 2500 still in Iraq and uncertainty about future numbers.
