"This day is a victory for the United States. It's a victory for Iraq and a decisive victory over ISIS, which has been completely decimated, which is the reason we went in there in the first place. President Trump reacts to the final withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq, marking the formal conclusion of the 12-year anti-ISIS coalition mission. Trump highlighted the complete defeat of the terrorist organization during his first administration as the key justification for ending the military presence in the region. “I decimated them and took them out in my first administration. So I don't know what took them so long to be making the announcement that I'm making today. But it was all about ISIS at the time." ▻
